    And PT boats in the good old days, Mosquito A/C all LR vintage

    Sikaflex 227 i would be thinking

    Multi-purpose polyurethane
    Suitable for automotive bonding,sealing and seam welding
    Can be used for vibration reduction and sound deadening measures
    Fast curing, can be painted and sanded as soon as skinned
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.
    apologies to Socrates

    Clancy's gone to Queensland Rovering, and we don't know where he are

    A supporting rib over a long span adds more strength than nothing, but less than being riveted along its length.
    Granted it could be fastened better, but then again, its not designed to walk on, just take the load of a wayward magpie or the occasional heavy splash of rain
