Hole in Bulkhead

Red is plat dots are rivets. Go around the hole with lord's put the plate down and rivet it. 3/32 rivets. 1/8" or so thick aluminum plate. You can also use 3m auto body panel adhesive instead of the lord's adhesive. Not sure of the # for the 3m though I've always used lords.

any local sources for this stuff? also where to get the cherry rivets?
Fastenall or amazon your best bet up here in Montana, if you were close I could fix it here with you take a hour or so, in Hamilton....if you use the glue you can actually use the fastenall stainless normal 3/16 rivets, they are plenty strong

Alright cool, yeah your about 4 hours from me. 3M 8115-8116 as well as Norton 0416 is available here in town, is this a good option? or should I wait to get some lords in the mail?
You could also do a nice 1/4 inch plate the entire size of that bottom "triangle" area and glue and rivet it in there, never break and have a nice bash plate to boot, and would look good also...below is a picture of the area only way I could get it loaded lol

Dont worry that works lol
I really like that idea. I was kinda thinking the same thing. I got everything i need except this darn adhesive.
I would personally do it that way vs the small patch.

So I am going to make the plate in this fashion.
It will be strong and will support the connection point closest to the hole.
It may be stronger than it was stock.
Use 3/16 rivets I told you the wrong size earlier in a post.

This is what I am thinking.

I would use the larger head style rivets.

Ahhh...the sport of sledding, i often wonder how much $$$ i would have in the bank if i sold everything and took up knitting and tea...sweater anyone?
Then you'd be on the knitting forums asking about titanium or unobtanium knitting needles and some sort of ultra special thread or yarn. Then start calling a "sweater" a body wrap.
looks clean, nice job!
