Nah- you got taken, mate! It's useless to you now, so just send me your pole and I'll dispose of it safely for you!
Jokes aside though, your beak ends should be screwed in, IMHO. The
corrosion risk in riveting is too high, especially in an aftermarket/DIY situation, so 316 screws with loads of Tef Gel is the order of the day.
(You reeeeally sure you want to keep your pole?)
