Re: frame rivet length
When I worked at Boeing, the general rule was to make the rivet protrude as far as the rivet diameter measures. Of course, that was aluminum, but I'm pretty sure the general rule is still applicable.
So basically, a 3/8 rivet should protrude 3/8" out the backside before your bucking bar mate applies his support.
