[QUOTE="Bob9863, post: 446219, member: 23176"] I've found some pop rivets can leak through the center, I've now switched to old fashioned hammer rivets, big lug on the outside, aluminum washer and peen the inside. Use some marine silicon around the rivets. Better and more permanent fix is to aluminum braze the holes and grind them back. I'm setting led lights up on mine, I'm using cree bulbs and a small 12v battery, charged by a small solar panel. Thats a very efficient abd effective set up, I'm also thinking about a couple of small high power beams on the front for navigation at night. [/QUOTE]
