0 Phred52 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 FishinMaverick, Some years ago, I replaced 90% of the rivets in a 17' canoe. I got solid aluminum rivets from the local Trucking garage. They use 'em on the cabs and trailers. I did need to make a bit for my air chisel but the canoe still floats so it musta worked . Phred52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
