Hello all,
So placing my order for rivets with Jaycee tomorrow. So far:
-Various sizes of closed end full aluminum pop rivets
-Solid round head aluminum 3/16 rivets in 2 diff lengths
-3/16 aluminum truss head semi tubular rivets for roof gutter/roof
-Shank for semi tubular 3/16 rivets
-Shank for 3/16 round head rivets (trying the air hammer at low pressure as recommended)
Question is:
Everywhere I have read that the roof gutter/roof uses 3/16 semi tub truss head rivets. This morning, while counting the holes, I checked the sizes using drill bits.....definitely 5/32!
Is my roof unique....should I drill them out to 3/16 (and hence also the roof)?? Please comment, as the shank must also match the rivet size I get.
Regards,
Julian
