2ManyZs Posted March 16, 2003 Share #2 Posted March 16, 2003 Rivets are a terrible choice. Welding is the only way to keep the strength of the unibody. Unless the patches are only a couple inches square, but I'd still weld them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmsports Posted March 17, 2003 Share #4 Posted March 17, 2003 Just a reminder NOT to ever weld on galvanized steel. The fumes it gives off are very toxic and can kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
