[QUOTE="MN Fisher, post: 488238, member: 31421"] All rivets are considered permanent - it's just the type of rivet used Factory built boats use solid brazing rivets - inside the hull, one person holds a 'bucking bar' in place; outside the hull, another person uses a pneumatic air-hammer with a brazing head driver. I'm using regular pop-rivets on the interior frame on my rebuild - dome head in most places and countersunk where the decking will go over it to give the rivet joint a flat surface. But for the aluminum angles that attach to the outer hull I'm using drive-rivets. Drill the hole, insert the rivet, pound on the protruding head with a hammer. Outside looks like this - a little epoxy to seal it [ATTACH type="full" alt="Drive-rivet exterior.JPG"]110942._xfImport[/ATTACH] Inside looks like this - the 'split' parts hold the piece solidly in place.
