What are you planning for the floor Willem?
My cardinal sin for frame failure due to rust is because I believed silicone sealer would last for how many ever years. I used posidrive screws to secure the plate to the rectangle beams.
Cheers
Henri, I plan to use simple galvanized plate which I intend to spot weld near the edges and use aluminum rivets to secure the rest. Between the galvanized sheet and the frame I am going to use automotive sealant (I'll try and get you the name) - the salesman assured me it will not cause rust.
Sikaflex is that guey automotive glue. If there is enough surface area to glue you wont need rivets, which will potentially cause leaky holes into the square tube.
Mind you, where you live nothing rusts!

Nice build Willem, please keep us posted.
Yes sikaflex is the way to go. Been used by most off road trailer and caravan builders.
Rivets tend to wear out over time.

This really is a sad state of affairs. Murdered for a cell phone and baby food. AI!
Sorry off topic but it really is bad out there.

I have no ideal what the last few posts are about.
Is this a continuation of a discussion held off Forum?
