[quote=Edchris177][quote]I used 3/16 x 1/4 rivets this summer, and they are pulling through. So the simple solution isn't working. There are stress fractures around the rivet holes, and I need to reinforce or fill them.[/quote]
In that case, separate the hulls, lay them across a couple of saw horses so that the rivet holes are on the bottom, & parallel with the ground.
Mix up a few CC's of epoxy & inject with a syringe, then put a piece of tape over the rivet hole. Gravity is your friend, will level the epoxy, & allow it to penetrate into the cracks. It is important that the holes are "level", otherwise the expoxy will run elsewhere. Use additive carefully, you don't want the mixture to thick, it needs to be able to creep into the cracks.
Redrill & rivet.
You cannot reach the tramp track ,(to install washers, or an AL strip) from behind the rear beam. There is a bulkhead on the 5.0 & 5.7 under the rear beam.[/quote]
