Ah, your worried about the rivets leaking and creating 'rust' holes!Hi, no just want to secure it to the existing floor which is in good shape so want to keep it that way, cheers

If you decide to rivet it in, make sure you buy aluminium rivets so they don't react with the aluminium floor and load liner. Treat the rivets on the outside with dinitrol or similar.Absolutely!
I carry a full load of loose wood twice a week so reckon it should be fine with the adhesive, I just like the idea of doing it the strongest way, but yes I think you’re right, it won’t go anywhere!If you decide to rivet it in, make sure you buy aluminium rivets so they don't react with the aluminium floor and load liner.

Or, you could just bond it in. It's not as though it's going to be under any load against the adhesive! Make sure you get a good bond around the edges to prevent moisture getting between the two.
Are you planning on carrying a lot of rough, heavy stuff?
