I have to replace the mast base. Do I need to use some sort of adhesive in addition to riveting? If so, what type of adhesive should I use.

Also, I had to replace the cheek block on the mast. When I removed the rivets, the inside part of the rivets fell through the holes and are now rolling around inside the mast. I don't really want to break the seals on the mast to get them out. Is this going to be a problem in the future?

Thanks,
Joe

Short answer to both questions:

No.

On #2 it's no only if you don't mind the rattle.

Maybe he can switch masts with Jerome "Rattle 'n' Hum" Vaughan.

Rivets... No they will move around inside the mast (especially when you step the mast). They will not cause any issues.
