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 )
