Note that UH says Cherry-Max - these are not cheapo pop-rivets ! It's not an airplane - just use standard steel rivets, and put in few more than you would need with the Cherry-max. They are in a place that's easy to inspect. If you need strong rivets, the steel 5/32" are really strong - and cheap (at least in the USA). Don't mix steel and aluminum. They are too far apart on the electro- chemical scale and will set up an electrolytic cell that will corrode the repair. Use aluminum or Monel-metal rivets and aluminium brackets, gussets etc. The steel rivets I use are plated - standard hardware store stuff - so it's not steel on aluminum, but whatever the plating is (zinc, I assume). I don't have any problems with corrosion, but it's not very humid here, either. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA * Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly |
