[QUOTE="Nevillizer, post: 130795, member: 1773"] Go to your local Fastenal. They sell these in a box of 20, 50, or 500. They are called closed end rivets. Make sure you get the "all aluminum" ones. You push the closed end through the seat base to out side the hull. Place you rivet gun on the mandrel (which should be inside the hull) and torque down 2-3 time until it breaks. You will need a rivet that has a "grip" range that is just over twice you hull thickness and approximate 3/8 in diameter. Then I would use your 3M sealant for extra precaution. [/QUOTE]
