Vex VersaFrame

We also love the Versaframe and general VEXPro product line.

We also drilled everything out to 3/16 rivets, we like them because it's the same size as a tight fit for #10 bolts too.

Out of curiosity what rivets are you all using? We use some rivets in non-frame parts, but they always seem to loosen up over time, and we end up welding. I'm assuming you dont have this problem.

We used 5/32 rivets unless we really need some extra strength, then we may increase to 3/16.

We have found the best way to have solidly attached rivets are to make sure your holes are drilled properly and to the correct diameter. If you're using 5/32 rivets, purchase a few #20 drill bits. If you're using 3/16 rivets, purchase a few #10 drill bits. I always refer to table 1 on this website and it has never steered us wrong: http://www.engineersedge.com/rivet_application.htm
