[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 495876, member: 7021"] CJ spotted it.....Upon closer inspection, both rivets appear to have aluminum hull cracks . That I would believe will take more work than simply adding a new rivet. I'll defer to those with more alum experience.....but I believe something like this: 1. Stop crack from spreading (tig weld)? 2. Repair existing crack (tig weld)? 3. New solid rivet with sealant? NOTE: Are cracks all the way through hull, as I do not see them on inside...they may be hidden under stringer? Question: Is this crack from rivet stress on hull, rivet set to hard with air hammer/air rivet tool, or? I fear this most if I were to replace a solid rivet....air hammer hammers to hard and stresses/cracks hullo_O [/QUOTE]
