Martin,

What ever rivet you end up using make sure it is of a similar material spec to the sheet - not the chassis. For example; do not use a steel pop as they will eat into the sheet and then be a pain to drill out. After all, the sheet is only a cladding and not really a stressed part of the structure. I am using a blind end aluminium 5/32" rivet from Prifast - good service too.
