Hi
I took apart the cross beams from my HC16
It was not easy to drill the rivets. Are they also 6061 T6 Aluminium ? Or stainless steel ?
Thx
JD

3/16" x 1/2" panhead SS rivets.

You may also want to borrow/rent/buy a heavy duty hand rivet tool like the Marson VHR-2, since the smaller hand held ones are hard to use on these larger SS rivets.
