Re: frame rivet length
One other thing that just occurred to me I forgot to mention: That rivet length "rule" is very much dependent on the fit of the rivet in the hole. Since the whole idea of riveting is to have them swell to fill the hole they're put in, it needs to be an accurate fit to keep the rivet tail from being too thin when you're bucking it.
