Lee Fowler Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Ok removed the scuttle today to find 2 small washers either side at hidden rivet location, between the scuttle and hoop. The question is do they need to be fitted back and how if thet do? Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Lee, I don't have any washers between scuttle and hoop on mine, not sure what you mean by 'hidden rivet location' though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Lee, If you mean the rivets on the lower rear corners of the scuttle, then yes you probably will need to put the washers back. They are only on more recent cars though. I assume they are there as spacers and leaving them out you will risk unsightly distortion of the scuttle as you tighten the rivet / self-tapper / bolt. Looks an awkward job to fit them though. Angus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpy the 7th Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Gaffer tape with a hole in the middle for the bolt usually holds washers and things in place for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
