Sizes are probably small enough to not see major loads from
differential expansion.

Peeling force should be greater than several kilos;


Our qualification with AF42 was 50 lbs / inch. That will be about 0.8
kilograms / mm, probably enough in the 8mm width, almost surely enough
in the 15mm width.

I have no space for mechanical join I would like to avoid rivets or
something similar.

Thank you!
