[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 379268, member: 9169"] The closed end blind rivets I used on my build are all aluminum with an aluminum mandrel. I haven't had any issues with breakage or rivets working loose. I even used these to support my pedestal seat on my bow deck. I used 1" square tubing running "crossways" on the first two mounting holes of my pedestal base to reduce the torque from my 6'8" 270# butt. The tube is attached to the bases under my deck with bolts and nuts through the pedestal base mounting holes and then attached to my deck with a run of blind rivets. Really made my pedestal seat a lot more solid. I have lost a few rivet heads on my bow deck here and there, but they were the factory Tracker rivets from 1996. [/QUOTE]
