Guys
I see from the MK build manual that you are suposed to use 5mm rivets for the floor, but the rivet tools such as the lazy riviter etc only come with a 4.8mm attachment as the biggest it can take. Am I getting something wrong here or did you use smaller rivets than MK suggest?
thanks
J

3/8 rivets every 2" is fine, remember to use bonding agent as well

great thanks, so 4.8mm is fine then.

Hi

And make sure they are sealed rivets. Otherwise all the water / moisture will ingress to the inside of the chassis.

Cheers Matt

Thanks. If i use a 4.8mm tivet what size drill do I need to use to drill the hole, obviously if I was using a 5mm rivet I would probably use a 5mm drill bit, but not sure if I am using a 4.8mm?

thanks
J

5mm drill is fine... they swell up to fill the hole size anyway.

5mm drill bit will be fine.
I used these.

thanks for your help guys

as, said, thoses size rizets are fine with a 5mm hole and some glue, i used silcone, some use tiger seal or sikaflex.
