Best way to attach a tub
Hi, my body does try not to make contact with the chassis so would rivets be strong enough to pull it all in or are bolts better. The reservation i
then have about bolts is where ive taped the round tube chassis before i find i only get 1-2 threads which isnt ideal and they often dont end up
great. Been thinking bout getting a rivnut gun but heard they can also be troublesome by spinning and the metal is quite thick(chassis 16/18 gauge)or
are they ok, so back to the question which methods best or is there an something else?
Cheers
Adam

As above rivnuts with button heads and large washers.
Only done 100 miles to and from SVA but everything seems to be okay, suppose you could always use small thread lock as well?
