elie boone Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 If it doesn't have a slot that goes under the horizontal panel before the scuttle it's fairly easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetec Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 I've drilled out the rivets & left the bulkhead. I've got lots a things attached to that so I we t the easy route.Have people put rivnuts instead of rivits back in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I, too, left the front bulkhead in place as it has quite a few things attached to it. I used just 12 rivnuts to re-attach the scuttle.Only thing is I can't remember whether i used M3 or M4 rivnuts. I'll confirm later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy couchman Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Rivnuts here too and then used stainless cap head screws to secure.
