Re: Rivets: Sizes and Materials

Rivets are a great fastener to use. We has some problems with 1/8" rivets last year when they were not being used in shear(design flaw). If you standardize 1/8" keep this in mind, and only use rivets for shear loads. We are standardizing 3/16" this year, because it matches up with #10 clearance, and it should hold up to much if not all the abuse you give it.
