Looked around the site for applying the splitter to the bumper and a few have suggested using rivets

Just wondering if this is what I need?

Just drill some pilot holes & use some self tappers mate.

 

[Tony Hunter]

It will do the job.

Why not self tappers?

 

[Junior Bear]

Purely because of some peoples input about them in other threads

Plus I'd of thought the rivets would be more secure.

If self tappers is a better idea then I'll do that?

This ^

Rivets not needed.

 

[Junior Bear]

And I assume you cut any excess after its on?

I just thought rivets would mean that no drills would be needed

 

[Tony Hunter]

You have to drill a hole to put the rivet through before you squash it down.

 

[Junior Bear]

Ah ok, in that case I'll use self tappers

Cheers pal

how did you think rivets worked?

 

[MarkCup]

Technically pilot holes with a drill are not needed either.

I just screwed mine on in about 5 minutes a few track days ago and it's been fine ever since.

 

[James28]

Yea I also screwed mine on with self tappers without pilot holes.

if you was to rivet it on and you needed to remove the splitter it would be a nightmare getting the rivets out

self tappers no need to drill pilot holes thats why they are called self tappers hence the little drill type bit on the end

Wouldn't be a nightmare getting the rivets out you can just drill them out with a pilot bit. Better using self tappers though as they are easier to put in and just as solid as rivets if you screw enough in.

 

[Junior Bear]

how did you think rivets worked?

I thought they were sharp at one end so they pushed through then clipped with that other side

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Nah you need to drill a pilot hole for the rivets.

Self tappers are more than enough, i parked over a kerb yesterday and when i reversed it damn near pulled the whole bumper off and the splitter didnt budge!!
