Fixing top panel

How have you all fixed your transmission tunnel top cover on (the one that needs to be removable for IVA)?





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

I have a full floor covering the bottom of the tunnel and IVA inspector will need to inspect pipes and wires going through.

I was looking at them but wasn't sure if they work with a normal rivet gun or if i would need a new one?

Every kit builder needs one - mine is made by silverline cost about £13 - similar to this ebay one... You can spend a lot more on them, but I didn't and it has worked fine for me.
