Floor Riveting Order
I have been wondering in what order is the floor installed? Assuming aluminum, do you bond the floor with Sikaflex then drill the rivet holes or drill the holes then apply the Sikaflex?
If it is the latter how do you keep the Clecos from getting stuck or at least covered in PU adhesive? |

Hi Tim,
the way i did my ali floor was to clamp the ali to the chassis then drilled all the holes, removed the ali then put the sticky stuff on & with the help of a mate placed the ali back onto the chassis, using some old drill bits to hold the ali in place to the correct holes position(each corner so to speak), clamped it again then rivetted it. might not be how everyone does it but it worked a treat for me cheers andy

I clamped my aluminium down, drilled my holes (putting in cleco fasteners as I went). Then once it was all done, took it off, tigersealed it, then riveted it all together.

I suppose covering the tranny tunnel will help keep the nice shiny propshaft a bit cleaner

start at one end and work towards the other or in the middle and work out otherwise you could end up with creases in the middle, it suks, trust me
