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

why does it need to be removable?

speedyxjs - 31/5/09 at 01:15 PM

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

ah, i see.

rivuts?

speedyxjs - 31/5/09 at 01:18 PM

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?

You need to get a riv nut gun as well, I have velcro holding mine on

blakep82 - 31/5/09 at 01:20 PM

yeah its a special tool you need.

round headed (cross headed) self tapping screws?

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.
