I know I should use grade 8 bolts. They're easier and stronger than rivets.....but I want to keep the old gal as authentic as possible. Any advice/tips/tricks on frame riveting? I have a large air hammer and machined some rivet sets yesterday using info found in an old machinist's handbook. Thanks!
