[QUOTE="mbweimar, post: 416457, member: 9884"] I wanted to start a discussion about aluminum machine screws, mainly because I'm curious about their potential in tin boat applications. I was planning out how I will mount my floor and console in the Weldbilt, and thought about using aluminum rivnuts and aluminum machine screws. On paper it sounds like a great idea, even considering how soft aluminum is. Screws would have to be very lightly torqued, but I feel like they'd be a heck of a lot stronger than the 3/16 pop rivets that held the floor in previously. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
