Default Clutch Fork Retaining Clip

After a lot of work I finally attached my body to the chassis and hooked everything back up. Started the car and all was good for about 10 minutes. I could not get the clutch to engage and had very little pressure on the pedal. After lots of fiddling with the linkage and the pedal out came the transmission. Much harder to do with the body on. I found the retaining clip on the fork was broken. I have ordered a new on. My two questions are: Can I uses a pop rivet to mount the clip? and Any thing else I should check before it all goes back in? I don't want to do this again.

Thanks

1970 stock 4 speed.

Do not use a pop rivet. New spring should come with a rivet.
It'll be easy to peen with a hammer and anvil.
