    Probably not putting any back in, if I do it would be cut foam.

    Need help finding rivets, Tracker Grizzly 1648

    I am putting the same floor back down. I just used aluminum rivets for now. If I end up pulling the floor again eventually I may use stainless rivets, the rivnuts weren't long enough to grab through the material.

    Definitely still remove it. I got over 150 lbs of wet foam out, plus I was able to add drainage under the floor for the water to actually get out. Also by removing nasty rusted rivets it'll stop the corrosion underneath hopefully.

    Need help finding rivets, Tracker Grizzly 1648

    When I did mine I believe I used a 3/16 bit. The holes are right at 1/4 inch. I would definitely add some drain holes to the framing underneath because those side channels don't drain at all. There's some foam under there but the bulk of it is in the back bench and pods plus some under the...

    Need help finding rivets, Tracker Grizzly 1648

    I ground the heads as low as I could after I drilled the middles out and then used a chisel to shear the rest of the head off. Took a lot of leverage and some brute force to pop the floor up finally. I pried up with my lashing bar for chain lashing so hard that it was lifting the stern of the...

    Yeah they were a bitch to get out so assuming stainless, just too much moisture under the floor they rotted out bad.

    There's a floating floor in the trackers, it's on top of aluminum tubing and it's riveted down. Some of the rivets I ground out were threaded rivnuts from the factory

    Gonna try these out, worst case if they don't seem to be the right fit I'll go a diff route but I am planning to do some more work in the near future so if I need to pull the floor back out those make it easier then I can rivet it later. Stainless Steel 1/4-20 Rivet Nuts and Bolts 1" Button...

    2014 Tracker Grizzly 1648, looking for rivets to replace factory floor rivets.

    Older tracker grizzly with what I suspect is soaked flotation foam. I'm in the process of pulling up the floor, I want to remove the old foam and put the floor back down. I am having a hell of a time figuring out what size rivets I need, and where to buy them. I am carefully removing the old...
