I agree with this. I have always used rivets and will again when the occasion arises. I do, however shop for aluminum rivets with aluminum mandrels for ease of drilling them out if necessary. On my first Model IV, I drilled a 3/16" hole on the bottom of the door frame about two inches forward of the bottom aft bend. The purpose was to shake out the rivet fragments when I replaced the plastic.
