Stiffy

[ArtStream]

All this stiff TV stuff has got me thinking.
I suspect my coach had damage to the front when I bought it. At the time, I thought the loose lower beltline was just a cosmetic issue and never gave it the attention I now know it requires. While my TV is huge, I keep it pretty loaded and I guess, due to the long distance from the rear wheels to the tow hitch, I have a good deal of squat. 45,000 miles latter I am readdressing the front rivet issue and plan to remove the inside panels. Question: where can I get the channel that attaches the front apron to the trailer floor? Also, the 6 vertical braces in front? What kind of rivets should be used and where can I get them and the tool/s to install them?

Thanks in advance.
