Yes its all a matter of drilling out old rivets swapping in the new regulator and putting new rivets in.

I used rivets, but you probably could use bolts. I don't know how big your hands are but you wont always have enough room to get your hand back there. Late Model Restoration sells a large rivet gun that works perfectly. The only trouble i ran into while switching them out was that I had to unbolt the window guide toward the front of the door to get the regulator assembly in place and then bolt it back.
