RE: Blind Rivets vs Pop Rivets A quick Google search provides info I never knew before. Although the terms 'blind rivet' and 'pop rivet' seem to be interchangeable when referring to such things there is also a series of products specifically called 'closed end blind rivets' and that solves the problem that was in my mind, no leakes possible after install. But the other point made, that the rivets are covered by the hose after install, is really what I was missing in the discussion. Damn it's good to Learn Something Every Day even though I've been around for damn near 70 years.
