On the lower edge of the body, Morgan used what are called pop rivets here in the US to attach the the lower edge of the body work to the frame. These rivits start at about the rear edge of the heat shield and run clear to the front of the car. On my car, these are unpainted.
I had the frame replaced in early 2015 and began to notice that every couple of months, the head would be missing from one or more rivits. I would drill them out and replace them and be down the road. I have probably replaced all of them at one time or another and have just returned from the garage after replacing 5 of them (having a beer on the porch).
My question is: Do any of the rest of you have this issue? Were the original rivits some sort of magic rivit that we don’t have here in the states? My rivits are from a company called “Aircraft Spruce” and are used on aircraft so I’m thinking they should be adequate. Any ideas or thoughts?
