You lost me at 1.2 to 1.75 bigger. Are we talking about diameter, length, rivet or hole?

Yes 1.2 to 1.75 times the Dia of the rivet. Most people say it has to be 1.5 times the Dia this is the ideal length but Zenith state in the CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS section CS #403 page 28 the Max - Min - and Nominal settings. After setting a rivet i measures it and it was within specs. Ian Rat CH601XL Brisbane Australia.
