[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 419744, member: 15636"] I find that by "sneaking up on the torque" (actually breaking point) on those aluminum body/aluminum mandrel rivets, rather than setting them FAST ... that one can get them pretty darn tight. They do not replace solid rivets by any means, but should be fine for sub-structure installs. FYI, on that Aircraft Spruce website, there's some guidance on the number of rivets per inch to hold the material used as needed for the designed sheer stress rating. [/QUOTE]
