hi all, cut my back panel out last night and marked all the holes to drill, and i am going to drill all the holes today and rivet it up but the questions is what size rivets and what spacing to do?

thanks

On my plastic one I used large head 5mm rivets about 120mm apart.

You will get different responses depending on whom you speak to..

For a plastic rear pannel though I would consider rivnuts...
