a rust hole (roughly 75mm2) an acceptable solution for a wof.Sealed and water proofed.No smart arse answers thanks.

If its not structual yes you could get away with that I would think.

I imagine they'd want to see the pop-riveted plate before you sealed it all up - as they would view a welded repair for a failed WOF.

Im guessing,if it has already failed it will be structuall therefore you are not alowed to rivit panels on.More info needed.

I would have thought it had to be welded as in arc / gas welded.

Adding to the above, your answer is .
IF it's been noted as "structural" then it MUST be repaired & documented by a certified panel beater.
IF it's been noted as a "non structural" area, then you can do the repair at home but it must be a "clean repair" (Ie: no sharp edges, jagged bits , must be well fitted & secured etc)
most aircraft were built this way( alloy construction ) now there mostly glued. :::::::therefore go with technology annd glue the bugger on

If it is a small amount of rust in the floor , I believe you are allowed to cut a hole with a hole saw and put a rubber bung in it;; stupid I know :: but I inderstand that is the rule.someone may correct me

Yet you can build a car from scratch with out being a "certified panel beater" !

Told a guy to do that to a hunter floor, he thought it was a great idea, looks like it was meant to be there!

Getting it certed for the road is a little different ****** Scratch built & repairs on a factory builtvehicle, 2 very different legal &structural situations
If the car sinks he may have bigger problems than a riveted panel!
