Nah, it wasn't riv-nuts. It was the most half-assed thing I had ever
seen. On the trunk side, there are 2 nyloc nuts. On the footwell
side, there are 2 phillips head bolts; not glued in place or anything.
It practically makes removing the clutch master cylinder a 2 person
job if you don't have vice grips.
