Hi guys I just got some new hatches for my 18 with fatbags and all! :) the thing is they came with wrivets for mounting and my old ones had nuts and bolts...
Will this be OK? The idea of putting wrivets in to my fiber decks gives me the shivers!

Use washers on the back side of the rivets to spread the load and should be ok. Or use nuts and bolts from originals.

Rivets are the original fastener. You can likely re-use the bolts and nuts?
