Rivets in ERA FIA

Bob,

Where you rivet the inner panels to the frame in the FIA, is it ok to use 3/16 rivets instead on 1/8? Will drilling slightly bigger holes in the frame be a problem?

Thanks

Glenn,

Most of the recommendations for 3/16" rivets are mistakes (my fault - bad editing of stuff carried over from the 427). Almost all the panels are pre-drilled where they get riveted. I'm trying to remember which aren't... First Saturday at home since October.

I'l try and fill in my knowledge tomorrow.
