[QUOTE="Buffco, post: 348608, member: 12466"] Thanks. I feel more confident removing them now. Going to save a lot of space. I have a few questions: 1) What are you guys using to secure aluminum angle to the ribs in your floor to make a flat bed? Pop rivets? SST screws? I've looked at several builds but can't find what is being used. 2) Can I use my air hammer to buck solid rivets? It seems from my research I may need to buy a regulator to lower the PSI at the hammer from 90 to about 25-40. 3) If using my air hammer is OK, does anyone have a link for the hammer to use? All I have for my air hammer are typical demo chisels. 4) Finally, when using solid rivets, do you put any kind of sealant on the exterior on the rivet tail? Before or after bucking? Or does bucking it seal up the hole watertight? 5) What size solid rivets and where do you order them? Sorry, I'd only ever heard of and used blind/pop rivets. [/QUOTE]
