Cheers Chris . . . that'll be spot on mate  :daumenhoch:

Gotta get those graphite flanges fitted and while I'm at it I want to lose the bolts on a coaster Tuff and use rivets instead

I'll post any more info from my engineer as soon I as get an answer too

The problem you guys will have here, is that you need an orbital riveting machine to fit them.
Its not like a normal rivet where the heads are bashed over, the press tool is rotating, on an angle about the rivet.
The machine allows for different speeds and pressures, depending upon the application.
Skyway used a Taumel Orbital rivetting machine.
