[QUOTE="Ronbedard57, post: 484756, member: 28449"] Hi, If you've got an air compressor, get a cheapy air hammer and a riveting snout. Get some shorty rivets and washers and a helper. Drill out the holes to the rivet size, get your buddy to buck the inside with a ball-peed hammer head, and hammer them from the outside. Maybe experiment on a similar scrap first. Very permanent, and it'll match the other fasteners. Paint over them if you want to, but they're water tight if done right. There may be some other rivets that could use "bucking up" once you've got the equipment. (yes that's where the expression comes from) Good luck Ron [/QUOTE]
