The top hat section was delivered today from YRM (great service as usual), which spurred me on to strip the second row floor down. I drilled out the rivets and spot welds holding the top hat ribs under the floor. Once it looked like Swiss cheese, I chiselled them off. I cut the new top hat sections to length, clamped them on and back drilled the holes through, securing with screw pins. After deburring and cleaning off the mating surfaces, the idea is to countersink the floor ready for csk rivets. Unfortunately I don’t have enough rivets, so will have to wait for them to arrive before completing.
