[TowerTalk] Wilson rivets

[Skip K3CC]

I have replaced a lot of rivets with rive-nuts.  A rive nut is a rivet that 
has a threaded inside.  It installed on a mandrel, squeezed and popped.  I 
use a little loc tite red to hold the rivet-nut in place.  Mac Tools, 
Snap-on and various other carry these tools and rive-nuts.

I believe they were used primarily in the aircraft industry.

Not cheap but very effective. They are made in Standard thread as well as 
metric. I have as standard SS up to 1/4 "   Google Rive nut for venders
