If you end up using rivets, these are the ones you want:

I find it strange that the information on this site about rivets tells you
everything except the piece of information you most want, namely what the
'nominal diameter' actually is.


The rivet part number tells you the nominal diameter #4 = .125, for
example. the second number is the length. Google on +rivet +part
number for more details.

Thanks. I suppose anyone in the aircraft business is supposed to know this
because if you click the link for more details it still does not reveal the
nominal size, just that.
# 4 is nominal, 5 and 6 are oversize. All of them seem a bit large for
fixing a whisker pole track to the mast.
