Aluminum panels - pre drilling?
Hi All
New builder here, I am building an MK5 - and general question about the aluminum panels. I plan on having them powder coated - and it seems that the consensus is to pre-drill the panels prior to sending them out. My plan is to pre-drill the points where it will be riveted into the frame, but how do you handle where they overlap? I am not sure how the holes will line up, without drilling while they overlap and into the frame.
Any suggestions on how you all have done the pre-drilling on your builds would be appreciated. Do I mock them up on the frame, drill through the panels while on the frame and use clecos? Or do I drill the panels off frame? And as mentioned, if off frame - how do I handle the panels that overlap?
Thanks all!
Eric
