[TowerTalk] pop riveters

[Roger (K8RI)]

This brings into quesion, why?
Aother than materia and sizel a pop rivette is a pop rivette is a pop rivett 
is a pop rivett.  What have they done to make theirs different?
There are also the Cherry max rivetts used in aircraft, but they are a bit 
different.

Knowing the material, I'd not hesitate to use standard rivetts of the proper 
size and material. There should be no valid strucctural reason for having to 
use their specific brand.
