[QUOTE="C.U. Fishin, post: 210265, member: 3364"] When you do your leak test something you may want to try on any rivets that are leaking is to warm up the area with a heat gun or propane torch, one thing Richline did was to put some kind of sealant on the seams along the rivet lines. Sometimes if the leak is small you can re-flow that sealant and stop the leak, you may still want to re-buck the rivet to tighten it up but I had a couple really small leaks that disappeared just by heating them.
