A method I found very handy was to fill the rod end with a micro mix even with a little flox this stops the centre of the long rivets from bending in the shank area, don't try to trim rivets to short as this will give you a lot of problems also as will rivets to long. I use a small ball peine hammer to work the rivet with the help of a friend to hold the push tube. I personaly would not use pop rivets for this task. Hope this helps.
