I was just about to rivet my trim cable attachment brackets to their associated cover plates and realized I didn't have any more of the LP4-3 pop rivets called for in the plans. Then I realized that I'm using the billet aluminum brackets and could think of no reason why not to use solid rivets. Then I started wondering why pop rivets were called for at all. Then I realized just how many things I don't know. And it's pretty late so I put everything down, shut off the lights and decided to ask if anyone knew of any reason why solid rivets should NOT be used here? And out of curiosity, why are pop rivets called for in the plans to begin with?
