Well, the traveler cleat pad tore off the rivet last sail and I have picked up another PAD mount. Seems I need to clean and lubricate the whole traveler system as I was having quite a bit trouble pulling it in the traveler the sail before.
It was previously riveted in and I believe this is the way to do it. The guy at the store said I could use the screw/nut in the kit but I am a tad skeptical about this (even thought it would be much easier) for two reasons:
1) I am not sure there is access to allow me to place the nut on the back (boat sits at the beach can't see it).
2) A screw and nut just do not seem nearly as secure.
Any reassurance before I go buy a rivet tool would be appreciated
