As I mentioned in the earlier post, I listed the exact AN pop rivet number to suit the alum. thickness and sealability. The "solid" pop rivet looks like a Lincoln hat so that when you pull the mandrel, which does not extend through the head, you don't end up with a hole in the rivet. I'd be hard pressed to believe Lowes would carry such an animal. Remember, the wheel has already been invented:-) If you call Van's and give them the rivet number I listed, it'll show up at your door with no problem. They are not just a supplier of metal airplanes, they have a pretty nice selection of hardware.
