[SilverStreak] new hinge rivets

["Eddie" <Eddie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill,
I have not done anything yet on the rivets. We can easily find 3/16" pop 
rivets. I am thinking I want to use stainless pop rivets but have not 
researched yet. I am pretty sure Olympic shave rivets are in this size, and 
I actually may have some. I have also seen a type of rivet that spreads out 
like a spider or molly screw. We may have room for that and maybe is 
unnecessary.

We also should use a double sided tape to put between the hinge and the 
attachment surface. We need to look into that as it would be easier to apply 
to the hinge and cut and trim away than any sort of mastic. We don't want to 
be gluing the hinge on, but I would think we want something as a helper 
between the two slick-sliding surfaces to help limit shear-movement.

I am sort of hoping Ralph Cooke and Ken Wilson will have solution thoughts 
on this stuff.
