Dan, Here's how I would do it: 1.) Make a small doubler out of plywood (same thickness as the skin) Make it double the aera of the rivet head ( calculate the area of the rivet head then double the area not the diameter).
2.) Drill the full size hole in both pieces. remove the doubler, drill the skin next size hole larger. 3.) Fabricate a back-up "washer" or doubler out of .012 aluminum. 4.) Mix up some flox, flox both doublers onto the back side of the skin. 5.) Insert and squeeze the pop rivet. Let the whole thing cure overnight. 6.) The next day, pin punch the rivet stem out being sure you back it up. 7.) Add your tubing and you're done.
