I'm wondering if there's any reason that it would be inappropriate to replace some of the specified Avex blind rivets in my CH 701 kit with same-diameter 2117 (AN 470 AD) solid rivets. Obviously, I'll check with Zenith also, but just wondering if there's some reason I'm missing that this would be inappropriate. I have a whole bunch of spare solid rivets of the right size, and they're enough cheaper that it seems a pity not to use them where I can just squeeze them.
