POP RIVETS.... just how strong are they, and who manufactures them? ? ? ? Location and application in their use extremely important. The tinsel stength of the metals they are made from is the criteria. POP Rivets could be made from almost "JUNK" metals, i.e. Extremely poor quality. Do you really want to trust them in the application to your aircaft/More probably your LIFE? Think about it.! Respectfully, "Bill"
