Rivets-what to do?

[Jordan Baker]

Do a search for rivets in the Carrier forum. I asked this a few years ago and Rob Love supplied a bunch of info.

What I ended up using was carriage bolts. On the outside they look great and really aren't that noticable on the inside with all of the nuts.

As for the csk screws for the front lifting eyes I used the originals when I could save them. All that I could get my hands on were regular grade (5?) ones. So far the eyes havn't ripped off when the UC is being winched onto the back of the tow truck. However I don't tell the driver why im suddenly standing 20 feet away.
