Richie's Mk1 Restoration

[shaun]

I believe im right in saying universal carriers were being weld at the same time as riveting production was going on - it was decided to keep riveting the majority of carrier production rather than welding as it would have created to much down time for retooling the factories.

Riveting can produce a far far tighter clamping affect for the size of rivet than bolts, hence there use on boilers, ships etc.

All of the above is "in my opinion" as some one will now blow my comments out of the water !

And boy do i wish the welded universals, the would be so much easier to rebuild !!!!!!!!!!

Richie so glad you are doing the rivets properly.
