Get solid Truss head rivets. Just Google for tools and rivets. I think a
pound of rivets will be abou $15 and the hand tool should not be more than
$10.


???? What kind of hand tool ????

Solid rivets usually require a rivet gun and bucking bar or a rivet
squeezer.... more than $10, for sure....

Solid aluminum rivets are easily set with a hand tool. Takes two people
on a boat, as one person is on inside with a bucking bar, and the other is
on the outside with a hammer and steel tool with a mushroom depression.
