New Tipper body for old Ford Transit

[flatyre]

thanks folks, just got a price of £26 for aluminium composite board, basically the stuff signwriters use as it has a 1.5mm aluminium skin over 3mm plastic, this on the outside, inch box section frame and 4mm aluminium sheets on the inside. Total price=£400 including all stainless steel hinges, locks etc.

So i've decided to go down the ally planks route for the sides with stainless steel corner pillars.

 

Now i can't decide how best to fasten the ally planks to the steel pillars. 

 

Will ally rivets be good enough or should i bolt them on?

Use U shape steel pillars and just slot them in. Means you car remove them when u are doing tarmac and scrap metal.
