Hello
Right, taken the tank off three times this winter to repair a leak and just when you think it's all done one of the rivets started to weep. Sigh!
Read Paul Dye's 'Weep no more' article with interest and a level of trepidation. I am not sure I like the idea of drilling out an existing rivet... to replace it with a blind rivet. That said, I do trust his advice and it seems better to try that before pulling the tank again, especially as the rivet is not that easily accessible.
I am UK based and although I can get AD42H rivets here, I do need to get a min quantity, plus I would have to make the tools Paul suggests in his article. Although I am happy to make the effort, I'd rather invest the time in my RV build project, so I thought I check here and see if someone has already done the same repair and has countersunk some spare AD42Hs already I could buy?
As said, I am UK based but obviously happy to cover postage and pay a fair price for the rivets as well.
Thanks!
