Any suggestions on how to deal with these two problems following drilling the head off a pop rivet -
Firstly, the rivet body being left behind - in this case, in half of an aluminium port frame

Secondly, "drill skid" off centre of the rivet body causing an eccentric hole - once again, in aluminium. What's the best solution when fixing this port fame back to the cabin? My Shetland 570 has 5 mm fibreglass cabin wall and I am going to use pop rivet again. I presume the only solution is to use a bigger rivet?
