My lowe roughneck 1760 has a factory installed aluminum floor, mounted on the cross supports with what look to be pop rivets.
Last year they started coming loose. I tried to replace this with ss metal screws but only short term success.
I'm thinking I need to drill some new holes and put in new rivets. The challenge. I don't know jack about rivets.
The ones used by the factory seem to be just 1/8 pop rivets. Should I use the next biggest size ? Will I need to glue anything ?
Of the entire floor only the last foot is having problems. This generates a lot of popping and snapping as the floor flexes. Making me crazy.
