</span>Which is exactly what I'm doing. There is zero tolerance inside the<br>
cap (under the neoprene seal) for any sort of screw, nut, or rivet<br>
nubbin. The way the original chain was attached, there was an aluminum<br>
expanding "nail" jammed into the small hole in the cap, then ground<br>
flush on the inside of the cap, and sealed with the neoprene seal.<br>
