Re: Ribbit Rivet...
One more detail on the 1/4" rivets. We did not use back up washers. It is a real pain to get them on inside the frame. If they are not held perfectly flat against the inner wall you will have a bad rivet joint. On the 1" angle 1/8" rivets we always use backup washers. They are critical to a good lasting riveted joint. We have not had a steel backup riveted joint fail in 4 years of using rivets. However, a couple joints were accidentally done with AL rivets and those joints did loosen up.
