Anyone know the proper length of the rivets holding the beams to the corner castings? Also, I have some monel rivets on hand and was wondering if these would be appropriate for this purpose?

Monel rivets are acceptable - even preferred - as they reduce the corrosion between the casting/beam and rivet.
