Hello Andrew
I tried to use a vise to squeeze the aileron cam rivets.  Some have used a 
punch, hammer and anvil. I did not like the results of the vise method.  In the

end I wound up buying new cam and bearing parts from Europa AND the $130.00 
rivet squeezer from Spruce and starting over.

As I remember the updated manual states that there is a type of pop rivet 
that is acceptable for this application. 

All the manual updates are on the Europa Owners site. Perhaps you can find 
the fastener number there and order from Spruce.

Anyone know the fastener number for these pop rivets?
