[A/S] Reattaching belly skin
While my belly skin isn't to the point of falling off, some of the 1979
vintage pop rivits have corroded away causing it to rattle a bit. An
easy fix I know, but I have a few questions.
In some locations, the skin corroded around the head of the rivit,
leaving a 1/4" dimater hole. My plan is to just use a washer of some
kind.
I've heard of people using steel rivits with plastic washers to avoid
contact of dissimilar metals. I could also get some rivits with over
sized heads, though they would corrode after a decade or so. Another
option is to drill a new hole in these locations.
What is recommended for this?
