[quote=dmgbear55]That Bulb Tite rivet is interesting for its load sharing back. Curious to know what the special tool is. Is it just a special nose for a standard rivet tool or something more? I would also want to know about shear strength compared to SS and Monel rivets. Many of the rivets on a mast are in high shear applications, so it would be important to know the differences before committing. For sure we know that standard aluminum rivets are not up to many of the applications in a mast.
I think Tom is on to something for using these folding rivets in tramp tracks.[/quote]
