Does a rivet go here?

Post by cjensen »

I'm assuming so, but I hate to assume...

Is a 426 3-3.5 or 4 go in these holes under the tank skin?

I don't see the callout anywhere in the plans. :?

I put rivets in mine, I think this is one of those things where Van's plans get a little vague. Be prepared for more gray matter areas as the project progresses :mrgreen:

Ditto - riveted 'em a few weeks ago.

There is mention of these somewhere on DC's site. No mention or callout in the plans, but I c'sunk and riveted them.

Yes!

NOWHERE in the plans does it EVER say to install them, either!!!

Just do it now.

Nothing else attaches there.
