Can anyone help by discribing the difference...I am working on my H17 and Hobie calls for Monel rivets, I have always used SS rivets in the past on my Prindle. SS rivets are more expensive, but locally available. Is there a difference in strenght, performance, metal compatability??? What is the Monel??? a special alloy??? one down side I see is it has a standard steel pin, that would rust.



Any input would be appreciated!!
