What are skyway rivets made of?

(1/5) > >>

oberonspacefruit:
1. stainless
2. alloy
3. mild steel.

if they were mild steel, surely they would rust unless they were annodized, which is impossible when they are fitted to the nylon.

stainless- no rust, but dear for a business material.

Aluminium- my guess, but ive never stripped one, so it is a guess...is aluminium strong enough?

animal:
They r hard stainless as far as I know . Hard 2 drill and don't rust  ;)

Steve P:
They're definitely stainless like Steve says ... I've got an original NOS rivet here somewhere if you need a pattern  ;)

griff:
Marzipan

oberonspacefruit:
Damn that is gonna make it hard to pein over then isnt it. stainless can shatter if too much schock is applied, which is why its not recommended for rebuilding suspension components.
Ill have a go and see what happens.
