Folks
I am in a quandry. Have just aligned and straightend our Cub Frame here and am about to tack weld all the new tubes together.
I have been thinking ahead on the tube oil and have seen the posts on the folks who pressurize their tubes but am still confused about how most people plug the holes if one uses simple tube oil.
The thought of having a bunch of screw sticking out of the tube is not very enticing and I wonder if anyone has any opinions on the following options:
1. Using an Aluminum Avex Rivet - The Big issue here is corrosion
2. Using Steel Rivets - I cannot find any and if they are available, how do they work and where can they be sourced from
3. Welding the hole closed - the big issue here is burning the oil inside and losing some protection anyway
Appreciate any thoughts, feedback or experience anyone can offer
Regards
