I have seen in some older patents that "rivet" seems to be used as a term to describe the bending-down of metal by hammering, more than a particular type of fastener. -- User:axh, 2006-09-20, 11:32 EST
I have a friend who is building a headlamp, and at several points, he needs to rivet together two pieces of aluminum. What rivets would be best for that, and how would he use them?
