Re: Anyone use aluminum bolts?
Off topic: I'd personally use 10-24 bolts over 10-32. coarser threads in my experience are stronger (the weight difference is negligible).
I agree that rivets rock... just keep in mind that if you ever need to remove/replace the part, you will have to drill out the rivets and rivet it again. In this application, I suggest NC (national Coarse) bolts and locknuts...
