Rivet advise please
I have to replace the trailing edge end of a stamped aluminum rib from
a '47 Tcraft. I've cut away the corroded portion, bent metal to replace that part and would like to use Cherry "N" rivets to hold it in place. I have some questions regarding what spec to look for when ordering. A. Rivet Material: 5052 Aluminum or 5056 - does it make any difference for this old a rib? B. Mandrel Material: Aluminum or steel - am I correct that dissimilar metals could cause a problem and I should stick with aluminum? In that case why make a steel mandrel? Thanks in Advance - Mike
