Re: pic: 6WD Riveted Frame Development
Our frames are typically assembled with a sort-of combination of press-fit construction held with rivets. In 2008, we inserted 1.5" square tube into channel with a 1.5" inside width; a tight fit. We then fixed it in place with four 1/4" rivets -- two on top and two below.
It holds very well.
Are you concerned about the torsional stiffness of the channel that contains the axle mounts? Rectangular tubing in the same application would be quite a bit stiffer.
