I cheated....I used Hi-Shear rivets. They look like a rivet, but you install them by screwing a nut-like fastener on the other side...when the torque is right, the nut shears off leaving behind a nub of a rivet head. The outside looks like a rivet.
Do you have a source for these? I like the idea of them but I'm having trouble finding them.
