[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 495663, member: 7021"] ....Probably overthinking this one too!!!! I will need some 3/16" blind rivets for reattaching my aluminum floor and a few other projects. A few questions about rivet selection: 1. Is there such a thing as Marine Grade aluminum rivets? If so, what are specs? Example of what this website refers to as marine grade... [URL='https://tbnation.net/products/rivets']Marine Grade Aluminum Rivets[/URL] 2. Rivets are sold nearly everywhere...Lowes, Home Depot, Harbor Freight, local hardware stores....how can you determine the better grades when no information is provided on packages? 3. How is appropriate length determined (how much rivet body is needed past sandwiched material)? 4. Rivet head....Dome Head, Large Flange Head, Countersunk Head....is it the same selection process as you would on stainless bolts? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
