[QUOTE="Starkfishes, post: 437084, member: 22441"] I cut and was ready to mount my first cross member for the vertical support of a rear deck rebuild and I got to thinking. Why do I need to screw or rivet the cross member prior to installing the aluminum wall sheet (1/8")? I have cut the cross member to the exact size needed so that there is no sway without it being fixed in place. Won't the aluminum sheet hold the cross member vertically without prefixing it? Here's a pic of the cross member before fixing it into place: [img]https://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff354/Starkfishes/2017%20xPress%201652%20Conversion/EA2D3E21-214F-4AA9-A8B2-FA3B6C496C9A.jpg[/img] [b]IS THIS A TIME-SAVER OR AM I ABOUT TO MAKE A BIG MISTAKE? Please give me some feedback.[/b] [/QUOTE]
