The tang left below the bellypan is so small we can cut them with dykes. Hasn't been an issue for us in the past. Most of the components riveted will never be removed or replaced anyway.

We're looking at switching to variable length plastic rivets in the future to save a little more weight (they cost about the same anyway).
