Diameter Fasteners to Use to Install Clearance Light MCL75RB
Question:
I just watched your video on installing light base MCL75RB. It showed using rivets not screws, it did not say if you could use aluminum or you needed stainless steele. Can I use aluminum and if so what size? Thank you

Expert Reply:
The mounting hole diameters of the install bracket # A65PB for the Thinline light part # MCL75RB are 3/16 inch in diameter. 1/8 inch diameter screws or rivets would work well. Aluminum isn't going to be as strong as steel but if the light assembly is pretty lightweight so it would still be held on securely with a aluminum screws or rivets.
