[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 427242, member: 13599"] my line of thought goes to aluminum open-end 3/16" diameter and 1/4" longer than the thickness of the two pieces being joined together. 1/4" diameter in high stress areas. Closed-End rivets where water intrusion might be an issue. a good investment would be to purchase the same size drill bits as your rivet diameter in high quality Titanium or Cobalt. Drilling a lot of holes with a dull steel bit is very frustrating. [ATTACH type="full" alt="rivets.jpg"]89383._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="drill bit.jpg"]89384._xfImport[/ATTACH] .
