Re: Ribbit Rivet...

Glad you guys are having good luck with the rivets. They have been a very successful method for our team since 2002. One more tip. When drilling for the 1/8" rivets we use double end short drill bits that are typically used by sheet metal duct fabricator. They drill aluminum well and when the bit dulls just flip it. Once again we have never had a riveted joint fail. About 4 joints over all those years loosened a little.
