Rivetting into carbon

   Make sure you get special carbon rivets they collapse a different way to the normal ones and don't crush the carbon.

	right, my main halyard cleat on my 600 is shredded, ts so bad i had to tie the halyard to the boom this weekend. any tips before i go and drill out the old rivetts and get a new cleat? what do you use to isolate the rivets from the carbon? asuming it will corrode unless i put something between the 2.
