Do not use aluminium rivets!!!!!.
Aluminum is what is used on any plastic fittings- like the end caps on the top section and boom. However they are much weaker than stainless, so for any load bearing rivet like the gooseneck or vang tang or the blocks on the boom, the collar on the top section etc it's crucial to use stainless. The coating is only needed for stainless, since it's a different metal than aluminum corrosion happens. Aluminum on aluminum (and plastic) is not an issue.I tend to use aluminum. Any coating I need for that? (Don't think so, the mast itself is aluminum)
This for sure.What do you plan to use for a rivet gun? Stainless steel pop rivets require a lot of force. Even if you manage to pop the rivet, it may not be tight enough. You almost need some sort of commercial rivet tool instead of the typical hand rivet gun from your local hardware store.
