Any well stocked hardware store will have aluminum rivets and some even stock stainless steel ones....

yes, but they are not BOAT rivets they are POP rivets.

A boat rivet is merely a CLOSED END POP RIVET.

I would just use a bolt washer and nut with some 5200 on it personally.

Will the blind rivets hold up as good as the solid ones?
