HELP - SWB 911 Front Indicator Lens Install

Hi All

I am doing some body work and repainting my 1967 911 and I want to change my front indicator lenses as they are faded. I got new ones from here and they look so much better.

The trouble is how to install them. 2 things that concern me. First is the (I dont know the name of these things) aluminium rivets (see photo with new lens) and second is the melting part of the lens itself.



Q1. With the rivets to get the old ones out I assume the best method is to drill the back. Is this correct?

Q2. How to I secure the new ones in place? They obviously slot into the lens at the front but how do I spread them at the back? I dont really want to take a hammer to it





Q3. What is the best method to melt the tabs on the back of the lens? Is it a soldering iron (I assume this could get sticky/stinky)?
