[QUOTE="acabtp, post: 274647, member: 5368"] nah, i read it, just still isn't the best way to fix this. you can see 3/16 or 1/4" shank aluminum brazier rivets clear as day in the picture. they have head diameters just under 1/2" and 5/8" respectively, so it is clear the hole the OP has to fix is about the same size. so again, it is great that you guys are so gung-ho for rivets! i like them too. but the best way to get this fixed is to have it welded, so there's no need to fill up the thread with information on a second best way to fix his particular problem. it would require more materials, more time to make and install the patch, and be more prone to leaking in the future than a welded repair. rivets are awesome for all sorts of other stuff though, we agree on that point.
