You may want to try to find some Clecos to use instead if rivets.
Basically a Cleco is a removeable pop-rivet. Not sure how much they cost
(think expensive- there's quite a bit of little mechanisms inside one),
and you need an extra tool to install / remove them. But it's quicker to
adjust panels using such tools.
Myself I have an arsenal of Vice-grips (4 to 10") and C-clamps to use.
