Re: Rivets: Steel or Aluminum?
Steel only .
aluminum rivets will quickly loosen from vibration and then wallow out the hole .
Always use the correct length rivet for the thickness of the material and never join aluminum to aluminum without a backing washer if you want it to last.
I also use larger diameter head rivets in high stress areas.
