Securing the Floorpan

[Ex-Biker]

What method is best to fit the floorpan?

I believe I have a number of options

1. Rivnut
2. Pop rivet
3. Self tapper
4. Panel bond

Which ever I decide, I am going to use panel bond. This is firstly to create a watertight seal between chassis and floorpan and secondly for strength.

So I suppose the question is more to do with whether I need anything else and if so what?

I was happy to use widely spaced self tappers initially, until I saw a picture where rivets where used. I do see a problem with rivets, which is the need to seal the holes after.

Any and all suggestions welcome.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Many thanks.

I guess rivets it is then.

Glad this came back to the top.

cymtriks, I don't fancy welding it. 1. I can't weld and 2. Galvanised floor to an already powdercoated chassis seems too much work.

Although I do agree welding is the strongest method.

Rivets
3mm or 4mm?
how far apart?
ali or stainless?
domed or countersunk?

Fair bit of choice isn't there.

Comments please.



Can anyone get a better price than £5/50 for 3mm stainless rivets?
