In order to get access to the rivets I had to remove the tuning cap.
Installing the rivets.
Installed
The rivets, even the 8mm, require a washer to really pull the cap to the chassis. I use 4mm washers. Otherwise the rivets does not flare enough to hold through almost 5mm hole.
I would use the rivnuts but somehow the two cans in the middle of the chassis do not let them through.
I guess it is a good thing I ahd to removet the tuning cap: some wires are fraying and require replacement. The guy who sold it to me claimed it all works but he probably did the bare minimum.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
