Frosty Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Did you search the blueprint section? I could do it for you but I have to go to the barn in a few minutes, then out to the shop. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irnsrgn Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) rule of thumb for rivets and bolts. 2 times the diameter of the material to form a rivet head (Oval). 2.5 times the diameter of the material to form a bolt head, (square or hex). for bolts and rivets, heat just the very end (4 times the diameter) to a bright orange or yellow heat and upset the end a bit. then drop in the header and form the head.
