finmac Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 well just finished fitting lowered floors on driver and passenger side of my SLR.Definitely comes under category of an awkward job but I actually really enjoyed it overall and a good sense of satisfaction upon completion!Pneumatic rivet gun is a really cool wee tool and very enjoyable to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon_h Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Pete, If you are, as it sounds, building a new one I would get it done at the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petethediesel Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Yes the lowered floors are in the spec but the gun will be handy for other parts. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oysterman Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 There is an alternative as I looked into this when fitting my floor over Xmas , a small rivet gun that fits into the chuck of a cordless drill , check out the videos on you tube , can’t remember the name but google rivet gun for cordless drill and you’ll get the idea.

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted March 26, 2018 Leadership Team Share Posted March 26, 2018 Softies I did mine with a hand rivet gun ... and had all the interior panels powder coated at the same time, I estimated around 700 rivets and felt like Popeye when I'd finished! Had to buy a new rivet gun as well because I'd worn the old one out. The steel rivets around the seats were sods!Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
