Magnesium alloy rivets
Disgruntled karter - 3/2/13 at 09:25 AM

Guys a real anorak question here !

Just about to order the rivets to build my locost so do I go for the pure aluminium rivets or the magnesium alloy ones !!

Ive been told to get Tucker AD54's that great to give me the size but the tuckers come in both pure ali and ali/mag alloy

don't want the thing falling to bits on me first trip out

any help gratefully received

thanks Graham )

Most use ally and have had no problems
I would always bond as well as rivet
