can anyone advise a permanent fix?

cheers

just sold a new style end can , no rivets !!
Probably not what you want to hear , but you'll always have problems with the rivets becoming loose.
£50 for latest style ones I think and are a tad quieter.

wonder if no nails would do it.............

large self tappers aswell.................

do the latest ones last?
cheers

No nails .....lol
self tappers mmmm..
Only new out so time will tell
The only sure fire way would be to have captive nut and bolt arrangement imo, but wether or not there is room for the nuts inside the tailcan ?

Strip it all down after marking the sleeve and end caps for realignment and use M4 stainless button heads and nuts. Pass the bolts thru the end caps,fit nuts to the inside and weld on.Use locktite on assembly and when the wadding needs changing just remove the outlet end cap

I repaired my endcan by tacking a band around the end to give it extra strength.

have welded nuts inside and put screws in - all sorted

thanks

Maybe for another time,

There is likely a rivet for every application, getting the few you need may be trickier.
