So. How did you come to choose aluminum rivets rather than steel? How did you decide on 1/8" diameter? Did you drill out the screw hole to fit the rivet diameter?
Shane - you said that the pads from TM are too soft. Were you referring to the OEM pads, or ones newly installed on your TM?
Wavery - did you buy the material from Amazon based on some knowledge, or just because it looked good? I bought a 6X6 piece of the same stuff, just because it looked good. I have it in my hand, and it feels good, too. It may be hard to cut ...

I have it now, just haven't cut and installed them yet. They are pretty far firm. I'm thinking the latch screw will need to be adjusted pretty far out.
