Drilling for Panels
Hello, long time reader first time poster (always wanted to say that!)
Please could someone advise if there's a piece of kit, or a technique or something for drilling the wholes to rivet the panels to the chassis
where I have an outrigger for the body in the way? It like I need an extension for the drill to reduce the angle or something. I dunno. See pic if
I can work out how to put in here!
Thanks for you help (both now and in the future!)

cant Quite work out where you are riveting too. it looks like the inside of the engine bay, If so why are you doing it on the inside ?
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

Likewise, not sure where that is but you can get right angle drives for lecky drills and if that fails try a flexible drive in a drill. Even then you
may have to grind a drill shorter and how are you going to get a rivet gun in there as well?

I would drill only where I could get the rivet gun in
and use one of the modern adhesives for the areas you cannot reach.

I used one of these (hope link works)
RIGHT ANGLE DRILL ATTACHMENT CHUCK KEY & HANDLE ADAPTER | eBay
But the above is true, only worth it if you can put the rivet gun there. I made that mistake, made a hole in a place where I can't rivet.
Seems sikaflex "glue" (bonding agent?) can hold the panel in place as long as the paint it stands on holds.

Can´t you cut a slit in the panel and fold 90°, then rivet on top of the tube?
Beware of what you wish.. for it may come true....
