I just finished assembly on a C4.
The 20 Meter driver is bolted together at a center insulator, as is
the 40M element on the C4.
Everything else is riveted.
To remove the rivets, according to the C3, C4 manual,
Use a 1/8 inch drill.
Run the drill slowly until the rivet head comes off
Remove the rivet head from the drill tip.
Drill through the hole.
The boom is several pieces that bolt together.
The manual has some photos and complete verbal descriptions.
