Got 5 mins to myself today so decided to remove the cages  :)

I started by centre punching and drilling a 2.5mm hole through the middle of the rivets, deep enough to receive the M3 countersunk allen machine screws. Its important not to drill too deep as there is a chance the hole could come through the narrow section of the body




Next using a 4.5mm bit i drilled through the rivet head leaving a fine ring of the head remaining. The holes in the cages are 5mm  :daumenhoch:




The rings were easily removed with a gentle tap with a flat screwdriver or something similar.




The cages were removed using a small piece of timber to pry and/or tap apart from the body. The nubs were filed flat with enough left on to relocate the cages once restored.




Next job is to reshape, file and polish the cages ready for anno  :)
