Exterior Rivets

[Justin]

Thanks for the advice. What gun are you using? It looks like it’s mentioned above a standard rivet gun will work, but most of the reviews and information I’m finding online state that you need a special gun to pull cherrymax rivets due to more force being needed.

@Salty , would you recommend using something a little easier to remove for the non-permanent riveting to be done, and save the CherryMax rivets for structural things. For instance, if it were you, would vent covers and the like that may need to be replaced someday might be better off with a standard rivet?

Depends. What's holding it on now? IMHO, if there is a bucked rivet on it to begin with, and you cannot put a bucked rivet in its' place, then a cherry or cherrymax. If it's a standard pop rivet that is in place, go back with a pop rivet.
