uninformed Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 So I’ve started dismantling my 109 Hardtop tub. Can anyone give any info on the solid rivets used? Availability, tooling? I will be completely pulling apart the tub for modification cheers Serg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uninformed Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 Well the floor rivets are 1/4” or next closest size. I drilled out with a 6.5mm drill bit and it didn’t quite remove stem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondjeremy Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Solid are 3/16 diameter of various lengths. Crossmembers seem to be something bigger - may be 1/4 in but as that's 6.35mm a 6.5mm drill shuld remove them. I use 1/4 in bolts. Blind (pop) rivets are 3/16 or 4.8mm x generally 10mm - closed type. Some are longer - I use 16mm which seems to do the job. https://www.bits4landys.co.uk/rivets/series2-s3.htm Stainless washers may cause galvanic corrosion problems in contact with the alloy - ie get it wrong and it'll dismantle itself in a few years.
