Peter S	Re: Rivets for eyelets? I use Airbrake ferrules for truck air brake systems they are machined brass and come in different sizes from 1/8th up. I also have used bushings designed for model airplanes, available at your local hobby shop. I made a little press to press them in that uses a tiny C-clamp for pressure so there is no shock or jolt....this especially important in an already existing amp....at least I think it is. The air brake ferrules look great! Peter S
