[doc] re attaching sills

["westleymills2003" <westleymills2003@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi all,another question,me being stupid needed to remove my quater 
panel last year to get a miner dent fixed,but i didnt know you can 
remove the panel without removing the sill,so i removed the sill,wow i 
wish i hadnt,not one screw came out without snaping or the rivnut just 
spinning round in the fibre glass,anyway i eventuly removed it by 
drilling all the screw heads off,
         anyway a year later i managed to remove the riv nuts without 
doing any damage to the fiber glass,easy peasy when you got the right 
tools,iv now got a rivnut gun{which aparently is a really handy  tool 
when you own a delorean,
        now iv just realised that standard length{15mm}  M5 riv nuts 
are not desighned for {i think the delorean fibreglass skin is 5 or 6 
mm thick}now i know that delorean used m5 rivnuts at the factory,so 
did they just put them in and not care or did they use longer special 
rivnuts,
so just wondering if anyone else is had to re attach these sills and 
how did they do it?
