#460002 - Restoration
lotusfanatic:
I guess fitting solid rivets would be the best method but almost impossible to install?
My only concern, if using blind rivets, is the possibility of the internal shank/head coming adrift and ending up drifting around in the coolant system?

I can TIG weld aluminium, so I'll quickly weld a few spots or bead around the end of the tubing. Should be fine after that.

lotusfanatic:
that would seem the best way, if you’ve got access?

Serge:
The tubing is not permantly attached to my chassis, so that won't be a problem.
