I drilled a 3" hole in the rear baffle, slopped some proseal along the inside rear baffle where the 3 rivets were leaking, cut a 4" round peice of .032 to patch it.... So whats the best way to go about this? Seems to me that solid pop rivets would be the cleanest method. Thought about platenuts and screws, only problem I see is there is only ~3/8" material on all sides of the patch that will overlap to the baffle. Seems kinda cramped for platenuts, countersinking, and screws... Plus i'd really like to minimize the amount of metal shavings that get lost into the tank... its already going to take some flushing from cutting the 3" hole...
