Wow Bobsta! I have never heard any 'boings' in my 3/16" aluminum rivets.
Maybe it is because of my roll cage design. I have two legs planted on each of
my wheel well intrusions.
BTW, I had a TR250 follow me home. It has a roll bar that could be recycled
into another TR4/TR250/TR6....if I can ever plow through the snow long enough
to dismantle it.
