Put some 5200 or epoxy on it and you have a very strong and leak proof connection if done properly.  Yes brazier rivets are better, but there are other solutions.  If you have ever tried to pop a 1/4" closed aluminum rivet with a steel mandrel. you know that they aren't $%&@ing around!</p></blockquote><p></p>
