I'm not sure exactly what they are called, but another solution is to pick up one of those washer/clips that are made of spring steel that slide on one way and the friction prevents them from coming off. You could use one of those over the shaft of the rivet on the inside of the fuselage without having to pull the mandrel through distorting the rivet shaft. I think they're only a few cents at Lowes, Home Depot, etc in the specialty hardware drawers.
