Fury aliminium sill supports
mrwibble - 27/7/10 at 05:23 PM

How much weight do the forward sill supports take? do you think i'll get away with 3.2mm rivets @ 50mm spacings?

Mines done with 5mm rivets at 75mm spacing , so I would say it will be fine (assuming the tops of the sill's will be fixed at the front as well ? )

I think I used the same large head rivets as the floor (4.8mm?).

i have the larger head type just to spread the load out over the rivet

thing is i forgot to put these on when i put the floor on, so i'm having to drill upwards and its a pita... i think i'll risk it rather than drilling 3.2 pilots then 5mm again.

it is supported above like claire says. thanks for replies.

It'll be fine. If your worrier thrn use sikaflex as well.
