I’m looking to weld tabs on my lower tubes to attach the side panels. Does anyone know how many I’ll need and how big they should be
Something like this might work.Someone else mentioned using adel clamps (coated hose clamps). I think I may go this route since I'll be wrapping the panels and the predrilled holes won't be that noticable.
What size riv-nuts did you useI did rivnuts and enlarge the holes on the panels to float a little better. Will add on foam tape on the frame prior to install and after I wrapped the panels.
Iv mounted other items stright to my frame with one m4 riv nut. I have noticed that the riv tool doesn’t close all the way it should and I was assuming it was cause of a thicker material of the tube. The riv nut was still super stiff and I was to able to tighten the bolt well. For the longevity of the application, I couldn’t say. As I am writing this post I am wondering if there is something that can be adjusted for thicker walls... lolAnother question I just thought of. Will the walls of the tubes be to thick for a m3 to clamp into?
The panels are but the frame is not. DO NOT DRILL into the lower tubesSo are the side panels not predrilled and ready for installation?
