Sanfly Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 what would be the best way to install screw in bung plugs into an alloy tinny bolt screws or rivets Hi I have a 470 coastrunner and they have used rivets on it Maybe if using bolts they might have a better chance of coming undone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMick Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I'd say they use aluminium rivets to avoid galvanic corrosion from dissimilar metals being in contact. I replaced mine with stainless screws covered in Duralac, because I didn't have any rivets, but rivots are the go IMO. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
