Doublers

[Drew Dalgleish]

Hi guys I found a couple small wrinkles and cracks in my float wheelwell.
No leaks last year but I want to deal with this while I have the gear apart
to install die springs. My question is are rivets really neccessary to bond
a doubler to the inside of the wheel well side skin. I would need to get a
right angle drill if I wanted to get holes in there but it would be fairly
easy to clamp it in place with some wedges. I think I'll use pro-seal for
the bonding agent instead of sikaflex. Any comments?

For a right angle drill you can get a angle die grinder with 1/8" collet,
cheap (10-23 usd), from harborfreight.com. I used this to drill from
inside out on my tailcone/Fus-30.
