Can I take it from your reply that if I were to follow all the steps you suggest that it would not be necessary to replace the olympics around the floor line?
When I seal everything up as you say, should the existing bitumen based sealer be stripped back?
Thanks to all for being so forthcoming with the helpful advice.

Pete.
Currently, when lower panels are replaced, Olympics are used on the floor line without any problems, provided that the seams and rivets are properly sealed.
If you wish, you can double the number of Olympics at the floor line.
Make sure everything is sealer, properly, from the inside.
I have no information on the sealer you used. Is it equal to or better than Vulkem, for at least 40 years?
