7. Now you'll need to file smooth the ridges left from you drilling out the rivets, a file will work, I used a dremel carefully. sorry no pic.
8. Drill and tap. You'll need to drill and tap where the rivets used to be. I used an M4 cap screw, so you will need a drill bit and a tap for an M4 - look it up. (Pic 6) - drilled and tapped trans.
9. Assembly time. My gasket seemed to still be ok, so i'm gonna leave it, you may choose to seal it on your own. Put the trans cover on and get a couple screws started loose.. Again I used M4x0.7 10mm thread length. Back the the rivet location we need to attend to.....I wasn't sure I would maintain a good contact from the switch to the trans b/c it depended on compression. So, I ended up just sandwiching a few small layers of tin foil between the cover and trans and then again ran the screw through some more. Now you can finish tightening all the screws and then install back into your saab.
If this fix doesn't hold up, I'm gonna fly a a seperate wire from the gnd side of the park switch to the gnd wire in the wiper motors' harness.
Oh, and check the new (to me) wheels! theyre a little rough, but I plan to have the repainted.
