[QUOTE="minuteman62-64, post: 377135, member: 15157"] My angles were 1 1/2 x 1 1/2, a structural grade. I used 3/16" aluminum rivets, aluminum mandrel, supposed to be a 5200 alloy. I think I got them on Amazon. I used multiple rivets where I joined angles. See photo for example. You can get data on the shear capacity of each rivet and use that to determine the minimum number you'd need (be conservative, at least a safety factor of x2). [/QUOTE]
