eddiemonster Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Can anyone recommend a filler for aluminium frames, if there is such a thing? I have small holes where blind fittings have been removed and i am also considering replacing the door handles which will also obviously leave holes.

Artisi Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Look for an epoxy patching kit for car radiators in the auto section BigC or Lotus - you might then have to colour match and apply a little paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'd go with the pop-rivet solution http://www.emhart.com/products/pop/default.asp any form of filler will IMHO look bad unless you're painting the frame afterward. If you can get them in the colour of your frame Aluminium rivets will look like they are supposed to be there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
