[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 56522, member: 55"] I can see where your coming from, and definitely agree that conventional solid rivets will be ideal. A lot of people that I see online are adverse to using them, for whatever reason. Myself, I will use both about equally in various thru hull situations. Both have their advantages. For future reference, if the back side of the rivet head is not big enough, they do sell aluminum backup washers that you put on the back before you tighten it down. Usually will make the backside as strong/spread out as the head. [/QUOTE]
