I'm not sure I follow? The flooring outside the wall-channel will be held with the original type self-tapping screws. Yes? No problem there. Part of this discussion, on the other hand, has been about how to use elevator type bolts through the wall-channel above the tubing without access inside the tubing. Kip's idea to use higher quality screws through a pre-tapped hole sounds pretty good to me. Where or how might pop rivets be appropriate? Doesn't sound very strong?
