Just asking for opinions - When riveting 1/8" nylon to the aluminum structure, is it better put the shop head on the metal side or on the nylon side? If it weren't for the "head forming" puller, I would always put the head on the nylon side. Perhaps best to use other rivets? or to countersink the nylon and pull it with a flat-head puller?

You could also put a washer on the rivet before you pull it.

Second the opinion of using a washer, also you
probably need to drill the hole in the nylon a little
oversize, so the expansion of the shank of the rivit
does not split the nylon.

Hi Andy,

I have used A5 rivets with the nylon fairleads without regard to the
direction of the rivets, and they seem to work just fine. I choose
the direction of the rivet by the location of the part rather than
the type of material.
