One note - I believe Dave Palmer is riveting flywheels with different  rivets 
(Hot Rivets?) and those seem to work and last well. Supposedly, the most  
important thing about re-attaching the flywheel parts - whether bolted or  
riveted, is alignment and limiting of runout. I recall DALE mfg labels their  
re-riveted wheels with the amount of runout. Just one more thing I won't be  trying 
at home! - Seth Emerson
