I'm preparing for the install of the Fantastic Fan, but the OEM vent is 17 inches square and the FF is 16 1/2. Some of the old screw holes will definitely be outside the new fan base. This is the same problem Patrick recorded some time ago.

So I am preparing to install countersunk closed end rivets in the old screw holes. I have some ideas on the best way forward but would appreciate any tips. My big concern is not countersinking too deeply.

Thanks,
Dennis
