grillhands Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Just a thought, has this been done before? I'm about to do flares on my car and some of my searching led to some jeep websites. They use plastic anchors for their flares. Some guy said the the metal of the rivet can cause premature rusting in the area they are installed in. Im not sure how true that is but what do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Are they talking about rivets, which may be aluminum, or rivnuts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL yup. If any premature rusting is occuring it is because the flares were installed without painting or sealing the drilled mounting holes. You can't just drill/cut painted steel body panels and leave bare metal, it will rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 The ace hardware here sells rubber rivnuts, but you still need to paint the inner fender after cutting and welding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
