When buying the rivets, check that both the rivets and the nails are stainless, as this is not always the case...
Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty, well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, loudly proclaiming: "WOW, WHAT A RIDE"

Instead of messing about with rivets all the time why not weld nuts inside the end cap and use stainless button head M5 Allen screws.Its a lot easier whenever you need to repack tailpipe and using a dab of loctite they never come loose like rivets. You can MIG weld to stainless easy enough.
