[A/S] rivets



Hi All;

I have now been over the entire outside skin of my 76 Argosy, and 
have found that there are two rivets missing.  How would one go about 
replacing these rivets to maintain a sealed outer skin?  My ideas
were to 'pop rivet' these two holes, and then put a dab of clear 
silicone on the hole in the pop rivets; or conversely, I could use 
small sheet metal screws.  Is there another way, with the proper 
rivets, which does not entail ripping out the inside walls?  Thanks 
for any info.  (or was this info in the archives??)

Tom
