Default age of rivets
vaniverse.. my question is how old is too old for rivets to be used. my project is mid 90's as are all the rivets. would it be better to buy rivets from this century. found little info in the AC43.13 and 8083-30.

There are no age limits on the type of rivets used in RVs.
BUILD ON!

I googled and found a point missed... I was using 2x at 37 psi. scrap that plan. went with 90 psi and quicker burst of energy(easier to control) and no kleetus mcrivet or his cousins. I was trying to be a precision rivet tech. now I'm cool and have resolved the matter. thanks to all special shout out to MEL! thanks sir and as more opinions fly in I will learn from them as usual.
