Any ideas? > Chris, the pop rivets can be drilled with a drill bit of a somewhat smaller size than the pop rivet so you end up cutting off the head of the pop rivet. If the pop rivet spins then you will need to find a way to hold it from spinning from the opposite side while drilling and not using a lot of pressure on the drill.
