Rivet length for K1000-6 or M1000-6

[skyboltone]

Nut plates. How thick are the flanges? I need to install a dozen or so where hex nuts are being used currently. It takes three men an a small boy to get some of the fairings off. I want to make it easy. I see that the nylon type cost 13.85 each. Wow. The K1000 are the dimpled ones. The M1000 maybe not so good for this install.

So, the side panels are what, .024 something? I'll use cherry N style because the rivets will be behind a fairing. I need to know the grip length. I suspect I can use the .020-.125.
