Quote:Btw- re split pin rivets. Are these split down the middle (as shown above) or are they with a hole drilled in the shank to accept a holding pin?
Generally they are made by soldering a 'staple' to the back of the domed head of the fastener. Then, once it is passed through the boss and the shield board, just opened-up and hammered flat.
I believe this is how the ESG do theirs.
