Re: Monobolt rivets on FRC applications
We use 1/4" rivets for the main chassis, where the load will be for crashes etc. We use 1/8" rivets everywhere else. THe only place I saw a 1/4" rivet fail was on our catapult arm, where the gusstens on the arm began to pull off of the 2x1. Fortunately, we caught it and replaced the arm with a welded one post-season.
