I made the mistake of buying one of the cheaper pop rivet tools that
handled two sizes of rivet stems.  The rivets I got for the snaps were
thinner
stems, so I ended up borrowing a better rivet tool.  The second time
around (after
the plastic male snaps broke again) I used metal snaps and screwed them
on using plastic washers between the snaps and spring nuts on the
underside.

Vic - Brilliant idea with the spark plug tips - I tried several thing in
the past, but none worked very well.
