AndyMM Posted March 31, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamperMan Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 M6 RivNuts and EPDM rubber stainless roof washers. That’s how I fixed the complete body on mine.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex Posted March 31, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960dave Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 You going to take the body off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyMM Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamperMan Posted April 1, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyMM Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
