Getting a handle on the tail dolly

The tail dolly for my new WalletWhomper II came without a handle on
top. I want to add one. I am betting that drilling holes and using
flathead machine screws from inside will still endanger the fuse
boom.

Any hot tips? (Besides "If you have to ask, don't do it.")

I have pealed the felt back and pop-riveted on a handle with the rivet
head on the inside and a washer on the outside, using 1/8" aluminum
rivets. Then contact cement the felt back in place. Worked for me.

I like simple and effective, and I have all the tools and materials
necessary!

Thanks JJ!!!

I did this mod. last year. I went to a good hardware store and bought
a concrete float, used for smoothing out concrete. It is a very hefty
handle with a metal plate attached to it with screws, the plate is
countersunk so that the screws don't contact the concrete. I pulled
the padding away, managed to bend the metal plate into the curve of
the dolly, screwed it all back together, and used 3M HS-90 spray
adhesive to glue the felt back on. I wanted the plate so the screws
wouldn't pull through the fiberglass. Very simple, cheap, looks really
good.
