[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 373992, member: 13599"] - exactly - with rivets in a "non structural " application, they will become "loose" prior to actually failing. IF you experience the epoxy failing first, then the loose rivets, just take it all out, clean it up, and do it all over again. If you can get to the bottom of the rivet, there are small washers you can put on the rivet body prior to popping it. Giving it a little more strength. 1/4" vs 3/16" rivets would be my recommendation if you can find them. Good Luck !! [/QUOTE]
