Riveting the two C-channels together will be a weak link (no oun intended) in the design. Rivets are not meant to hold much axial force - for that you need screws. Even steel rivets will come loose as the tracks will see lots of forces in the axial direction of the rivets.

I have never before seen the words "smaller" and "Saturn V" used in the same sentence. Wow. :yikes: - DonRotolo [more]
