Re: Rivets: Sizes and Materials
Big 1/4" aluminum rivets. Lots and lots of them. It's kinda insane how many we go through. All of our sheet metal is 3/4" spaced 1/4" holes, which we either stitch completely or every other hole, depending on seam length and how much structure we really need there. We also use 1/4" button heads to assemble the chassis prior to final riveting to ensure everything will fit correctly.
We also use the Big Pneumatic Riveter. Das Good.
