Part 2:
I then used my four clamps to keep all four fixing holes aligned.
Before working my way around one rivet at a time.
With each hole drilled needing to be filed down and then sanded before the rivet went it.
( Hence the whole scuffed alloy look, as there was a lot of filing marks. )
Eventually, I had 12 rivets in place.
Note: I may need to grind back the rivet that is currently overhanging.
Note also that my original design was for just two rivets a side, but I decided to add an extra one at the last minute.
Unfortunately, this resulted in me making a bit of a mess of the spacing on the driver's side.
Normally, I would have started on the passenger side, so that any mistakes wouldn't be seen from my seat.
But there is no way I am spending any more time on this.
All that remains to do now, is a final test fit and a hammering of the outside edge of the top alloy layer.
However, that will have to wait until I have some daylight to play with.
So until then, take care, Paul.
