Which rivet material?

   Depends really. If it is fitting with a high stress load such as shroud attachments, kicker tang etc then Nomel is a must. If it is a low stress fitting ie burgee holder then alloy would be adequate. If in doubt then default to Nomel. NB some plastic fittings could break before the mandrel of a nomel rivet such as HA 262 fairlead used as Laser/ILCA! Outhaul fairlead on boom.
