I think the rivets are strong enough (these are not the ordinary pop rivets as used in the sheet metal trade), but if you can get inside I would use stainless steel nuts, bolts and washers or brass screws into a block of hard wood the latter would do for the FF

thanks for the reply, its most appreciated. Do you know any good web sites for the rivets and how do they work? Are they the same as machine rivetts, in respect of you only have to have access to one side???

 

thanks,

Marine grade stainless bolts with washers and nyloc nuts.When I fitted my Scottys I made backing plates for the inside of the yak out of plastic chopping board---see pic

The rivets that are used on kayaks are very long and when pulled together break out four arms to keep it in place can't find a photo, but I'm sure some of the others will know were to get them

I got mine form the USA, but you can get them from this country
