I drove out the rivets that "partially held" the luggage stop in my '66 coupe. What have youse guys used to reinstall it ? Pop rivets ? The body is on the frame so my underside access is somewhat limited.

Yes pop rivets, but in new holes for as much strength as possible. Also bonded it to the body with structural epoxy. Floor is much more solid now.
Every little bit helps! If I had the help, washers would have been part of the plan.
It's worth noting that the repro stop obtained from LICS was really heavy-duty compared to OEM. Very nice piece.
I'm gonna' use my beat to **** OEM piece, it came loose on the driver's side, possibly due to the shifting of my perfect 175/6' frame ... (none of this is true).
Ray: I happened to have an extra cartridge of Evercoat 100815 left over from a previous project. Uses a standard caulking gun and has worked well for me. 3M and Lord Fusor are great, but I think they need the special, double-barreled gun.

BTW: here's the little problem that got me involved with this part of the floor in the first place.
