While I will agree with numerical identifications for various lengths, this rivet shaft is much longer than a grip length of 1/8". I just went and look at the pulled length. It is much longer than 1/8". The shank is probably at least 1/4" plus, unpulled. For the KR, one may very well want to just flox the thing into the fuselage. Either way, it isn't going anywhere. As for positioning a static port, for reference only, mine is located at a point 60% of the total fuselage length aft of the firewall. You don't want it to received ram air. The dome rivet head forces the air to flow more quickly over the head generating a desirable, consistant low pressure area.
