[TowerTalk] C-4E

[Mike Fatchett, W0MU]

I believe that Tom at F12 told me that I could use aluminum rivets found at
Home Depot.  Just make sure they were aluminum.  

There is nothing pulling or twisting on the element pieces in the air so I
don't know what forces would require super rivets.

I wouldn't think the load on them would be very much.  What am I missing?

While removal of rivets isn't hard, I doubt that the generic hardware store
aluminum rivets have the shear strength anywhere close to what is needed for
Force-12 antennas.

I'd contact the manufacturer and see if I could get some replacements.
