to rivet, but it took me years to get around to trying it. it’s pretty simple. most important is to have the hole and the wire be a good fit. if the hole is too big, and the wire too loose, it won’t work. hard to guess that, but it depends on your definition of feasible. it should last another 10 years if you don't need the most demanding performance the entire time, but it probably won't be considered "high end" after 5-6 years. it will do the job for a long time.
