Frame rust (warning)

[casesensitive]

I put stixall (adhesive) down each hole, and ran a bead between the chassis and floor, which I hoped would will prevent vibration and prevent water getting in.
However, and I regret this part, I simply riveted the thing down lie most were doing at the time (2014), because I didn't know any better.
I've considering drilling them all out, and replacing with M4 rivnuts, but I really don't fancy the sound of the remnants of 200 rivets bouncing around inside the frame, so I guess I'll leave it :/

That was my worry as well but spoke to Ariel who rivet part of there floor and if they need to remove it they insert some lithium grease up the holes which then trap the rivets as they move along the tube.
Im using Waxoyl instead which will do same and also give extra rust protection

I considered spraying the inside of the frame with that expanding foam gunk, but there's just so much volume to part fill I conceded.
If you assume there's 30m of chassis tube with an ID of 46mm, that's 50L to fill the whole thing. Even filling just the lower chassis bars (~10m) 20% of the way would be 3.4L of the stuff.
