JeffR Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Wonderful! Can now see about having some bent up, Ilike ribbed roofs, what can i say. Before anyone suggests "just swappin" the roof, remember I fixed the bugger in place with Tigerseal......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 your ribs & the roof ribs are on the inside. if you rivet these psuedo rins in place, look out for the spotwelds & drill between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffR Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Half the touble with the smooth roof is that the bloody thing drums at motorway speeds, driving me completely bonkers on long trips, besides, the ribbed roof is a thing of beauty..., you can tell I've just got 2000 pop rivets thro the post can't you.

western Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 2000 pop rivets hope you've got a good air powered rivet gun for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robhybrid Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 hope you have got proper sealed rivets and not normal ones or you'll turn your roof into a sieve !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffR Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 No to the air rivetter, yes to sealed rivets of all shapes and sizes, by the time I run out I'll have forearms bigger that the Terinators thighs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you use them all in one go you with a hand riveter can look forward to not being able to pick anything up for the rest of the week, I'm looking forward to the descriptive thread that ensues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmgemini Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yes air riviters are good. Just need the money and space for a silent compressor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 or a set of lazy tongs, would be better than hand rivetting pliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffR Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 or a set of lazy tongs, would be better than hand rivetting pliers. Got a Bluepoint rivetter, but lost (don't know how) the nozzle that fits the rivets and you can't buy the nozzles separately. Never mind the new Machine Mart catalogue has just arrived......
