Re: Securing rail stanchions to deck
Nice site to find the knurled aluminum rivets! Noticed that the material thickness range is in decimal. If you're looking for a quick reference guide to convert fractions to decimals or (shudder) millimeters, here's a link for that:

They work!
The deck is around 1/8 inch thick, so you need a RIvet Nut about 3/16 long.
