users have resorted to using stainless screws, nuts, and lockwashers. Which
method is best and why? Thanks, in advance, for your input.
Let me suggest following the LXC Prime Directive and "DO what the
manufacturer says". The rivets are a nifty solution for element attachment - a
definite improvement over hoseclamps.
Only caveat - put 2 or 3 rows of rivets at each point if you live in a
high wind area and they won't work loose.
Cheers,
