delaminating compartment door repair
#10

Yes, I did! I also found an excellent EPDM rubber "D" bubble trim for the cargo bay door seals on amazon for 1/3 the price of Steele Rubber. Excellent Chinesium material that is not your typical deteriorating rubber garbage from that part of the world. I will let you know how the 1/2" flat gasketing works out. I went through 2 new hand rivet guns on only 40 rivets in one hour. So pissed at the garbage quality of tools at Lowes/Home Depot. I have another 150 rivets to go. My pneumatic rivet tool will not fit where these rivets are so I am limited to doing this repair by hand. The compartment doors were either missing alot and I mean alot of rivets or the existing ones were so loose you could spin them by hand. I can't believe how tight the doors have become with the steel supports and new rivets on the ones I was able to do. Of course this really applies to the older coaches like mine where the bay doors are hinged at the top and swing up on two gas struts.
