Attaching Thermal Detonator Clips using Rivets

[mickeymark34]

Good afternoon everyone. I’m attempting to use 1/8 Diameter rivets with a 1/2 inch grip to attach the clips to my thermal detonator. When I tried attaching it to my belt on popped off, and I noticed that that part of the rivet that should have been inside the tube was curved and not flat. Am I doing something wrong?

Looks like you need rivet washers. They work as backing to hold the revit in place.

I do have some. I’ll try again using some.

Should I remove the caps of my TD before adding the washer?

Yes you'll have to in order to the the washers in there. You'll need 1/8 washers.

I do have 1/8 washers, and popped the caps off. The clips are now on securely. I’ll sand the caps and tube ends down to get them glued back on. Thanks for the help @Stroker.
