If I was you I'd have put another one in that front corner, you can't be too careful .

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

This number of rivets is quite normal.
Have a look at the riveting on La Bala and Kimini.
They look big however. Bigger than the ones I've seen until now.

aerospace practice, use four times as many fasteners as necessary.
