Fitting Alu side panels

[davidimurray]

What is the consensous on how to fit aluminium side panels. My current thought it is to make the panel up and bend all the flanges over. I would like to make the panel - removeable so i can continue to work on the car before I finally sikaflex and rivet it onThe bottom edge will be rivetted so i can use clecos here. What I'm not quite sure about is the top edge. Should I rivet it all the way along - or should I use a couple of strategic rivets and sikaflex it down on the final fix. I presume rivets are ok for IVA. My concern with a line of rivets is how the scuttle bonnet and nosecone will sit then.

Any opinions, pics etc much appreciated.

Cheers

Dave
