My AB-DAR won't pass an aluminum data plate and also won't pass it being

I handled this for my current plane by grinding down 4 rivets to the bare head plus a shank the thickness of my data plate.  I applied double-sided tape to the plate and applied to the plane, then inserted the bogus rivets.  Passed inspection fine and is still on the plane 4 years later.
