    They have holes in them so you can do whatever tickles your fancy, but if you are after 'correctness' then blind rivets are used:

    Yup - you rivet them. I did the same thing with the backing washers. Just be sure to use the original (or original type) super strong sealed rivets. The wimpy open-ended ones will loosen up quick no matter what you do.
