darcy1945 Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Rivets 3/16" x 3/4" aluminium, 3m of c/van annex track from Bunnings. Thin parallel punch, to punch out the mandrels of the old rivets before drilling out rivets (important) When old track free, put it back in position, lay 1.5m of annex track on top, lift of and clamp pieces together Using old track as template, drill holes in new track. rivet using 'duralac" or other, dissimilar metal compound, on all rivets. Ph 02 43591729 with questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
