I like to use a three orfice scarfing tip on an oxyacc outfit. Turn the o2 pressure down to about 7psi to match your acc. pres that way you have less chance of cutting the good stuff.Finish buy grinding just arround where the rivet head was. use a air impact punch with a flat ground end near the size of your rivet, heat the area and rattle it out of there. If you get too agressive you will upset it and it will get tighter, In that case drill a 1/4 hole and torch out one side with a sharp tip at least a 00 size so you can control your kerf then rattle it out oh yeah loads of fun
