[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 465436, member: 13702"] I mentioned connecting vertical braces so the load bears on the ends of the brace and not by applying sheer pressure on the side of the rivet on someone else's thread and finally got a few pictures of what i was trying to describe. [URL=https://imgur.com/BhzedSf][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/BhzedSf.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/qhQ0Y2r.jpg[/IMG] The anchor of the brace has some sharpie marking on it still but if you look the metal is contoured to bear on the piece of angle riveted down to the boat's floor brace. The top side shows the floor support joist bearing on the top end of the vertical rib. The rib was snug in place before I drilled it for the rivet on the drill press. I then set it in place and drilled through the vertical upward protruding inch of the floor anchor and the vertical downward facing face underneath the joist. These rivets are just holding the vertical leg in place, and aren't experiencing any scissoring pressure to the side of the rivet from either the joist on top or the anchor below. [/QUOTE]
