[QUOTE="caleywoods, post: 419793, member: 21481"] I picked up a '78 landau 1462v a few weeks back. I tested it a few days back by filling it up with water and it has a very slow trickle drip at the bow where the bottom starts to form the V. I see that there are about 4 missing rivets where the hull plate connects that have been sealed with what looks like silicone caulking. I want to dig out the silicone, wire wheel the area, and replace the missing rivets with some sealed end aluminum rivets. What is the best way to determine what size rivet you need? Do you just buy some small packs of normal rivets and give them a test fit before purchasing the sealed end versions? I think after replacing these few missing rivets and giving the whole thing a coat of gluvit she should be watertight since it's a very slow trickle now as is. [/QUOTE]
