Re: [VAL] holes in belly pan



Fiberglass ? Too much work and too much smell and mess.

You need a pop riveter, assorted ALUMINUM rivets and a roll 
of aluminum flashing and nippers.  Cut squares bigger than 
the holes, drill out the corners, place them, drill into 
belly pan put on some caulk and pop it together. This is kid 
stuff ! And if you don't like the first try, just drill the 
rivets out and try again. The belly pan where you can't see 
it is a good place to start.

Anyone who has an Airstream needs to have these things in 
the trailer first aid kit. Duct tape is good too, but unless 
  the skin is clean it will fall off.

I myself would wonder why the holes are there,...

year and was glad she had her pop rivet stuff )
