Tony,

Today's chassis use high-tensile-strength bolts and nuts, I'm sure it is easier to find these modern fasteners than the correct rivets. I think "the correct manner" is the right way too, but sometimes one can use alternatives when it poses less of a strain on resources, skills and energy.

Just my 2 cents worth, keep up the good work!

Regards,
Hanno
