Job description

Structural Steelwork
Auckland

We require someone to install and fit a handle ( drill out some holes) & repair a latch on a aluminium roof top tent ( attached to a vehicle). We have sent all the parts to the customer required to fix. What you will need: You will need hammer, drill & metal drill bits and a rivet gun Step 1: Put 3rd rivet into the damaged latch hook. Once done use a hammer to bend the latch hook back into the correct latch position. Step 2: Replace latch bolt, one of the latch bolts was damaged in transit. We have sent a new bolt to the customer. Step 3: Install the handle, you will need to open up the tent, hop inside the tent and move to the back wall. There is a zip at the back left corner inside the tent that releases the shell from the fabric. You will need to do this before drilling any holes. There will be also another zip holding on the fly this will need to be undone and moved out of the way from the handle holes. Once you can see both the handle holes on the inside of the tent you drill out the holes. Currently the handle does not fit through the holes as the holes have not been drilled wide enough so start by drilling out one hole 1mm more than the current diameter check if handle fits, if not drill out the other hole by 1mm more check if handle fits repeat step again by increasing another mm on one side until the handle fits. If you have any questions at any point or if you think this method will not work please ring us to discuss the best option. We can include images of the areas that need repairing - attaching + correcting
