This comes to something we say here and I learned from a Professor in College (Industrial Engineer):
Everybody can invent something... But only a Genoius can design the same thing real simple. (and in aviation: lighter).

Chris has designed a simple method of working with two types of rivets
on your plane for almost every location A4/A5. The domed head work
hardens the countersunk head making it stronger and also allows the
rivet to accept a varying amount of metal thicknesses, while offering a
more watertight seal. Without the formed head you would need to
determine the metal thickness of each piece you were going to rivet and
use a rivet with the appropriate throat(stem length). In this I would
imagine you would need about 4-5 more rivet sizes in each the A4 and A5
with different stem lengths to accommodate the different material
thicknesses. I like the idea of two rivets choices and the simplicity
that Chris Heintz has created by doming the head of a countersunk rivet.
