[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 495873, member: 15636"] FWIW I have some 1/4" diameter aluminum "high shear' blind rivets that [I]could be[/I] used in that one location. These equal the shear strength of set 3/16" 1100 alloy F-type rivets most boat makes use. The mandel is likely a 1/8" or 3/32", which most hand rivet tools will tpyically accomodate, but I use the large 'A'-Frame rivet tool to set them (see photo), as you want them set in a looooong slow squeeze (where, yes, sometimes to ratchet up on the mandrel). But I could sent you 4 for [I]FREE[/I], if you want to try them with your hand tool ... [I]but your hands may ache afterwards [/I]... lol!
