TIP: long stem, blind, snap rivet reuse.

For holding, through grommets, reverb tank to steel chassis, so not the usual small ones for DSP boards etc. You cannot reinsert, blind, as the

4 splay bits are permanently splayed out. Find a metal plate with holes the size to push each rivet in, to close back the 4 splays, then old soldering iron and hotmelt glue the 4 together. Reinsert through grommets and chassis, then the closer rivet, with more force than usual to break the hotmelt .

He seems to have found a way to re-use splay rivets by squeezing together their splayed ends with a simple jig (metal with holes), and temporarily hot-gluing them together. The rivets can then be re-used. Applying the rivet fastener with "more force than usual" completes the job by breaking off the hot glue.
