Re: Monobolt rivets on FRC applications

It really depends on how you're using them.

There is nothing wrong with regular rivets, they just aren't as strong... So design accordingly.

Use gussets with more rivets, etc...

It's also nice in some ways to design for regular, knowing you can switch to the stronger rivets if you need to (or switch to steel).
