Mortz, I could go for 4 of them, looks like the size is perfect. Will PM my address. I believe if those have the internal brad that they are also known as pop rivets. Your method of installation is better than using a pop rivet gun as it will leave the brad head buried in the tube when it breaks off, making the back side of the rivet far from flush with the back of the plug.
