Even a precision-reamed hole with a shoulder bolt in it will not be as rigid as one with a hot-set rivet. You will probably experience a lot of frame flex, which will result in some oddball handling characteristics. The Popular Mechanics Magazine road tester back in the 1950's summed it up this way- - - - -"Handles like a rhinoceros on a wet clay bank!"
Good luck with that!
