I believe in a previous post, it was mentioned the head was actually steel but.............if that concerns anyone, it wouldn't me, cut a piece of thin alum. into a square of say, .5" as a backing plate. Scuff up the side facing the wood fuselage, drill and deburr an 1/8" hole to accept the shank of the rivet, stick some flox on it and squeeze the rivet. I know for a fact, a couple builders have already ordered the static kit for $18. If anyone needs a piece of alclad alum thin enough so as not to impede upon the available length necessary for slipping the static line over the shank, let me know your address off list and I'll snail mail out two cut, drilled and deburred pieces (man, what a long sentence:-). Specifically Dan, as you are so close, let me know your address. I'll run down and cut yours up as soon as I get off the internet.
