The shop that did my metal work found a novel approach. They used a die to=
create threads on the shaft of the rivet & used a nut on the underside of =
the rivet to tighten it down. They did have to create a special tool=C2=A0o=
ut of a set of plyers to hold the rivet from turning while tightening the n=
ut. The result is completely original in appearance.Gary Hodson
