Default Alternative to welding aluminum frame of Komet?

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.
