Quick silly question!!

[Agger79]

Hey everyone, I'm in the middle of fitting 2 rear led worklamps on the roof of the workvan. Have switch fitted in dash and wires ran to the back. Now for my question!! Will pop rivets hold the lamps securely enough onto the roof or would I want to use bolts and nuts. 4small holes needed for brackets, either m6 bolts or rivets. Please to advise. Thank you.

Bolts penny washers and Tiger seal

I was hoping that wouldn't be the case!! It's very awkward to get my stupid hands into where the nut threads on!!

The problem is if you use pop rivets and light gets knocked off it will pull through creating larger holes

Yup, I hear ya. Was just being a lazy shite looking for quick route!! Who needs skin on the knuckles though, chicks dig scars.......

So will the bolts, (pull through that is), best not to knock off the light

I would use pop rivets with penny washers and sealant

What about a compromise and use rivnuts?

I would, but then I just happen to have the tool to do it

[Agger79]

Oooooooh rivnuts, that's a great shout!!

I got riv nut tool too well if you can fit a grab handle which won't fall off easily them you'll be able to fit a poxy lamp to them won't you

May have some limitations tho so use caution

[Agger79]

Cool, gonna try pick up some rivnuts tomorrow or Monday. Cheers guys.

why not roof rack bar mount so mount light to bar then torx security the bar to roof

[Agger79]

Roof rack bar would defo work but I'd just get a rear chrome bar with led markers and brackets for lamps if going down that route!!
