[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 494563, member: 15636"] Just so everyone knows, shear strength is one thing, but otherwise the rivets used should be [I]softer [/I]than the alloy you're holding together ... so that the rivets become the 'weak link' and are eventually the [I]item to be replaced[/I] ... and not that of the hull structure itself. I too use that large 'A'-frame riveter for setting large blind rivets. Works great! Tip - To achieve the shear strength without sacrificing the parent alloy, go to a larger diameter body. [/QUOTE]
