Gang, all I'll do is address Dan's statement on the properities of rivets in nutplates.
Nutplates are used extensively in my project. Rivet questions alway come up as to just what do they do. Dan is totally correct, the rivet itself adds nothing structual at all. All it does is keep the nutplate from turning. Use structual or alum rivets, pops or flush, you will not increase or decrease the integrity of the nutplate.
