I'm going to patch up some fuselage damage. I'm planning on using a 3 1/8" instrument panel punch to eliminate the damaged area (that's just barely big enough, just about perfect), then using a backer, along with plug to fill that hole for aesthetic reasons. To add a backer to non-structural, .032" aluminum, what rivet size and spacing is appropriate?

Thanks,
Jay
