Hi Squeek
Not sure! You may have to use a washer under the head of the pop rivet and that might make it a bit too thick? You may also have a job finding pop rivets of the correct diameter and length to fully fill the hole.
I think that the traditional rivets are a relatively close fit in the hole and work by being compressed into the hole. Correct me if wrong but pop rivets work by simply drawing the head in tension and rely on friction between the two surfaces?
Am I talking a load of guff????
