GRT has used the standard ones in our GB for the past three years and the flush ones in the 2014 GB. You'll need a hydraulic press if the plates are anodized but if it's just raw aluminum an arbor press should do fine I think.

More info on flush ones here http://www.pemnet.com/fastening_products/pdf/fdata.pdf

and a lot more info on their website http://www.pemnet.com
Great. Thanks for the info. I'll be sure to look into it.
