[QUOTE="perchjerker, post: 412681, member: 20605"] well they are hollow. And pop rivets are not really that strong. I just wouldn't do it, I dont know what others think You can use solid rivets, it takes 2 people, one with a solid hammer and the other with a buck, which is a solid piece of metal (could be another big hammer like a sledge hammer) to hold against the other side of the rivet while you hammer on it so it flattens out lots of posts here on the procedure, should not be that hard. And drilling out pop rivets is a piece of cake, then you will see how flimsy they can be but then, it may hold for a while, it may hold forever. 5200 is good stuff. I just cant recommend this as a repair method [/QUOTE]
