Did this work out for you and meet your high standards my friend? Also where did you get the flush mount rivets?
Thanks and have a great day

Flush rivets worked great there. Not having the head of the rivet above the surface allows the trans cover to fit nicely. I used these from McMaster: https://www.mcmaster.com/97530a097. In addition to the usual drilled rivet holes, a small countersink is also required to let them set flush. These wide range style rivets are nice as well.
Thanks for the compliment and you're welcome.
