[VAC] Old A/C left 100 rivet holes!
I removed my original Armstrong A/C today, which was quite a job. I am
still waiting on my adaptor pan for my new A/C, but I wanted to have time to
prep the area.
I had to drill out a very large quanity of rivets around the whole permieter
of the old A/C. These were standard rivets.
If I understand, the new Duo-Therm Penquin does not mount with rivets on the
top, only sandwiched to the roof with bolts from the inside.
So I need to cover up the old holes. Can I just use standard aluminum
rivets with vulkum on each one. Or do I need olympic rivets? Or some other
method?
These will not be holding anything on, just covering the holes, and exposed
to the elements on the roof.
