just a quick note,
i suppose it also depends on what thickness ali you finally decide on, Ash G has used 1.5mm ali but you were thinking 1.6mm so maybe worth a test as suggested or even a little countersunk for each rivet to make sure it pulls tight,
last resort being get slightly longer rivets, screwfix have a good stock of various lengths all around the same price.
