Rivets are fairly easy to remove, particularly aluminum ones. Just drill the flange off and punch them through the mast.
I used rivets quite frequently to attach things to masts. For exit plates, aluminum rivets should work fine. Larger stainless rivets are a different story. Most folks don't have the big rivet tool required to install them. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Thu, May 3, 2018 at 8:00 AM, Matthew L.
