Thanks Alan, yes the inside is the picture showing the metal retaining strips, not sure how to tackle this one if I ever get round to it.
Options thus far considered:
A) Leave it as it is.
B) Drill out and replace rivets with same type and colour (highly unlikely to find any)
C) Drill out and replace with the nearest rivet equivalent (that will do the job but won't look the same)
D) Ditto...screws and nuts...(ditto)
E) Break out all the perspex, slit the rivets, remove the metal clamping strips with rear of rivets still attached, fit new perspex in (glue) glue back retaining strips, if I can do a clean job then job done and will still look the part.
F) Sell it saying that the crack in the perspex was from a glancing blow from a stray bullet when in action.....
