I'd use a bunch of MD43BS 1/8" Monel pop rivets. They have a good
service history when used in aluminum and to join aluminum and steel.
I've got loads of them, contact me via email.

Thanks, Bob K.

John Thorp (with no "e") recommended Monel pop rivets (From U.S. Shoe
manufacturing IIRC) for assembling the T-18 as an alternate to the aluminum
AN rivets.

that if I wasn't going to jump on top of it or leave it out under 3
feet of snow that 10,000 pounds of shear strength might be enough to
repair the broken weld. Here is a pic of the break befo

I am going to trailer up to Logan, Ut this weekend to hopefully fly
the ridges and will report back if the patch job fix has any problems.

Thanks,
