[quote=PDS624]HObie does use stainless steel rivets with cups (you can check the parts list and order from murrys) and yes stainless to aluminum can be an issue but I think they get around it by coating the cups. you drill a 13/64 hole for a 3/16 rivet and insert the cup in the hole first. This also provides some waterproofing
As far as rivit guns go, the ONLY way to go is a hydraulic\pneumatic rivert gun (harbor freight is my hero!!!)
most hand powered riveters do not have the balls to do stainlesssteel rivets and the ones that do are so big you are wobbling the rivet around while you are trying to compress it which is not good
If you are in the tampa area, drop me a line and you can come by and use mine. I just replaced my mast cleats and it was a piece of cake not to mention only taking a few minutes.
