I have seen specifications for the minimum distance of a rivet to the edge of a metal sheet.

But what about the clearance of a bolt on a square or rectangular tube? From the end? From a side?


As far as the clearance from a side of the tube, I would think that it could be right up to the side without any problem. Or is that a wrong assumption?
