Rivets

[Moneybox]

The original Hummer/Humvee was held together with a similar style of 3/16" rivet to those Skippy posted. I couldn't find them last night but they are stronger than the common pop rivets we buy locally however their panels are bonded together, not relying on the strength of the rivets.

Yes there are areas that are non critical where it wouldn’t matter, but why mix and match rivets. 

Not suggestion you do  and if building a riveted, in whole or part, aircraft I wouldn't. The option is there & should not be discounted for the sake of  "They need to be aviation grade ".😈

Perhaps I should have been more specific and said rivets used in aircraft structures need to be aviation grade.

Why chance things? It's an aeroplane. Nev
