[QUOTE="LonLB, post: 236021, member: 4391"] I've been trying to come up with a way to have factory looking rivets because I needed some that would be on the outside of the boat. I didn't want to do plain pop rivets. I was afraid of dinging up the boat trying to install solid bucked rivets. So I found online Shave-able rivets. These are used to make repairs on parts that are held together with bucked rivets. trailer folks use them regularly. The best part is I bought a bag of them from the local RV surplus/salvage for a few $$$'s vs 40 bucks from a rivet supplier. Anyhow, this is what they look like. Remember this starts out as, and is installed as a regular old pop rivet. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Picture 091.jpg"]31737._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
