I am working on a project where I want to powder coat or paint the final product two tone. So originally I was using rivet nuts and a bolt to secure the two pieces to make the final assembly. I was doing this originally for ease or replacement down the road but now I am not worried about that.
I want to still have pieces attached together to create the assembly so I have been thinking of using traditional rivets. Question is will a single rivet over a span of 1 per 12" be sufficient or do rivets get there strength based on like aerospace applications where they are spaced so closely together?
basically I want to use rivet in place of a rivet nut and bolt because they are easier / quicker to install.
