After some deliberation, I've decided to use the close end blind rivets for all riveted areas because I want maximum strength and that's what was used originally for most locations. What I'm not sure of is what sizes to order.
I drilled out many rivets removing the back deck and some of the rivet holes were damaged, though not all. I've went back and measured most of the holes. They all appear to be 3/16" diameter.
I'm wondering if I should order two sizes. One, the original size of 3/16" and the next size up in places where rivets holes damaged (whallared/ovaled out a bit) by drilling out have to be drilled a size larger.
If anybody can recommend two sizes and a quantity that's likely to "get er done," I would greatly appreciate, as I'd rather have leftovers that be nearly done and not have enough rivets.
Thank you for your help,
