Oh and on another non-monster note, sorry, what can I do about this missing rivet? It's just been bugging me, but been like it forever.
If it were me unless they have got really noisy, like offensively so I wouldn't bother as they are stainless cans unless you are noticing any discolouration from hot spots (you can get away with it a bit more when they are not carbon cans).

This is the inside of my Ferracci cans after around twenty years and 30,000 miles:



But it was the fact they had cracked on the outer weld of the inlet that prompted me to open them up.

This is after they were re-welded:



Once open I found that the perforated tube was also falling apart so that had to be changed too:



As for your missing rivet, if the hole is clear can you not just pop one in?
