5/32 rivets

We just measured up our RV1512 rivets and came up with the following
numbers;

RV1512 rivets = 0.1496 decimal inches
5/32 = 0.1562
#21 drill = 0.1590

We have decided to drill out using a 5/32 drill and not #21 - why drill out
a bigger hole than needed? Isn't 0.010 difference too big a hole?

5/32 rivets

Depending on how many layers you are riveting you may wish you had a #20
drill. I did. Not all lots of rivets have the same dimensions either.
When I couldn't get one of the 5/32 in I would go to another lot I kept just
for the purpose because they were slightly smaller diameter and use one of
those. Managed to get by.
