Excellent process and video. I did both upper belt lines on my 2002 Diplomat 38 this year. The original screws were a mix of Phillips round and flat head, all rusted, about 1/3 broken. I followed Chris Throgmartin advice and drilled and installed Albany County 7/8 stainless steel rivets every 4 inches. Solid as a rock.

Why wouldn't you want to place rivets where the old screws were?

Just curious why you wouldn’t use stainless screws instead of the rivets?
