It's not as if the rivets hurl shrapnel; they don't. So long as one stays clear of the rivet's discharge path, there's no danger from them.Tom Gaspickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512002805129573697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123437528970945150.post-27430347303737683442014-12-01T10:14:33.460-05:002014-12-01T10:14:33.460-05:00The rivets went off the market in 1971.
