Project Winter Freshen Up

[Nick J]

Thanks.
Looking on ecat24.com i now see them rivets.

Do you use a normal rivet gun & drill a hole in the wing as per normal riverting?

They are a different type of rivet head that are welded on Martin. We still use them now on certain jaguars to hold trim pieces on....... I'd give ade a shout pronto so he can sort it properly for you. If you can't source any let me know and I will check what sizes we have for you.

Thanks Nick,

Too late, wings I think are painted already!
Sure I will sort something.
Worst case, I have the clips, I will have to use normal rivets to attach the clip.

I wouldn't drill the wing it will just promote rust or bare metal just tiger seal that first clip on

Ah we'll not to worry... If your drilling/riveting I'd touch up the holes and rivet heads with some paint then just wax oil inside and out and they'll last years.. Especially with it only seeing dry weather use etc.

Well hopefully picking the painted bits up tomorrow,aslong as i can fit them all flat in the van.
Iam told although the paint is dry its not hard enough fo me to stand upright in the van & strap them, so i will bring back whatever i can fit in.

Few pics Ade sent me in the week.







Also popped into Vauxhall this afternoon & picked up some sideskirt clips & the special rivets to hold them in place.



I will let you know tomorrow evening what i managed to get back & what i managed to get fitted if anything.
Feel like cr*p at the moment so that may stop play tomorrow afternoon
