My search foo must be off today. I know this must exist andthe right search would find it, but I'm all near misses today.
I am looking for a chart that shows the strength and weight characteristics of different types of rivets within the same broad family, arranged by size. So it might have AN470AD 4-4 on the same row as a BPS-44 commercial blind rivet so you can see how they compare.
Why: my UltraCub has places where it doesn't really need blind rivets, and I have everything needed (tools and parts) to replace the 1/8" pop rivets in many areas with AN470AD 4-x rivets that should be lighter and certainly look better. My gut says the AN470s are stronger than the pop rivets but I'd like some facts to back that up.
Thanks,
