[QUOTE="Sea Antsy, post: 497748, member: 33043"] ... sounds like a plan... be aware that all rivets are not the same size or SHAPE... then there are the pop rivets-open or closed head... be careful using a CENTER PUNCH...for some rivets it may be the best tool, but.. your objective is to PUSH-DRIVE-FORCE the material of the rivet outward to the sides of the hole and better fill in the gaps making a mushroom of the head.. on some size/shape rivets the centerpunch might be too sharp-pointed to mushroom properly consider having a few different size philips screw hex bits on hand to mushroom out the bigger rivet heads.. good luck [/QUOTE]
