Rivets: Steel or Aluminum?
I have an Old Super Stock Car and am redoing it for ET Racing. Although it won't be a Super Stock Class Car, I was hoping you guys could give me some pointers, as I trust your opinions.......
I just finished up redoing the rear Aluminum and Steel sheet metal Panels in my 1970 442 Drag Car. (New Steel Tubs, Steel 18ga. Panels around rear seat and 4-link areas & Driveshaft Tunnel areas, Aluminum 18ga. Panels on floor of trunk around fuel cell, etc.
My question is concerning the proper "Rivets" to use on these areas?....Steel or Aluminum? I am using 1/8" dia. Rivets.
Where should I use Aluminum Rivets and where should Steel Rivets be used?....Or, Do you just go with only "One" Material on the Rivets.
Your Comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
