Floor Panels

[sukhjeevan]

Just about to start fitting the floor panels.

Should I not drill the outer side edges of the floor panel and wait until the side pods are fitted. Then drill through the side pods and floor panel at the same time?

Or do I need to drill the outer edges and rivet the panel. Then drill some fresh holes for the side pods when they are fitted? Will this prevent a flush fit?

Most builders seem to do the latter, but I have seen a build site where the builder drilled out the floor panel rivets and then used the same holes for the side pod.

That sounds like a good plan. Drill and rivet all except where the pod will overlap the aluminium. Seal and clamp that section with wood and then drill and rivet when side pod is to be fitted!

Thanks!
