After quite a high mileage the one of rivets holding the body to the chassis on the drivers side has worked loose. It's the last one that actually fixes the body to the base. I have carefully drilled the thing out but it would appear that the hole has worn slightly large - probably too much to take the same diameter blind rivet. Not sure if to start a new hole near and use a fresh same sized rivet or if to go with a larger diameter in the same hole. The factory went through a period of drilling through the outer body and into the base / chassis tube. The chassis tube is steel ad I worry about dragging steel into the Aluminium and causing a galvanic corrosion - which I know will be impossible to stop.
Has anyone else had this and have any suggestions for a good fix.
Many thanks in advance and Happy New Year to everyone!
Dave
