AndyMM Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 I seem to remember a thread on this but can't find it, specifically re mounting when the rivets have pulled through the body work Quote
DamperMan Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 M6 RivNuts and EPDM rubber stainless roof washers. That’s how I fixed the complete body on mine.. Quote
tex Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Yup... Drill out the rivets in the chassis then install M6 rivnut. Stainless cap head M6 bolts with large stainless penny washers... 👍 You might have to pull the tub out the way to drill chassis.. Few wooden wedges hold it while you drill 1 Quote
AndyMM Posted March 31, 2020 Author Posted March 31, 2020 Thanks for your replies chaps will give it a go. Quote
AndyMM Posted March 31, 2020 Author Posted March 31, 2020 erm wasn't planning on taking the body off, just a repair to the rear fixing as the rivets have pulled through the body so its hanging 1/2'' lower one side. Quote
DamperMan Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 If the body feels like its not keen on going back to its original shape at least if you do it with bolts you can bring it back up over a few days with shorter and shorter bolts.... and with the car in the sun warming the Fibreglass.... 2 Quote
AndyMM Posted April 1, 2020 Author Posted April 1, 2020 Thanks again for your input the body is not that far off so will rivnut and wind it back gradually. Quote
