11/32 rivets?
sixball:
25 3/8" x 1 1/4" rivets arrived today. The forming tool came a few days ago. These will work fine. Some of the old holes accept them. Maybe stretched a bit. I've also noticed some poorly formed heads on several of the originals. If I can I'll fix them. I'll need a smaller tool.
What kind of rust treatment would you suggest between the frame and crossmember? Will it just burn out anyway?
sammons:
Sixball, I use John Deere "Blitz Black" rattle can. I heat up the areas (under both pieces) as hot as i can get it with a propane bottle torch, then spray (quench) it with Blitz. It's there to stay and heat won"t take it off. I'm sure there are plenty of weld thru primers/paints out there, but personally like the Blitz.
sixball:
Thanks, I have some of that. My son's Studebaker wagon is Blitz Black. Been sitting out for years and still cleans up well. I wish I'd used it on my pickup. I have Rust Doctor too and you can weld through it.
sixball:
Maybe I'll send my frame to these guys? Check the guy wearing sandals!
