Re: Anyone use aluminum bolts?

I'll second that rivets can and should be used structurally to save weight. We have used them with no problems. If you really need a bolt, I would recommend a 10-32 over an aluminium bolt.

Keep in mind, all these fasteners can be appropriate, just in different situations.
