Problem solved, without using spacers or modifying the wheels. I believe the original rivets were 1/4" diameter, which is exactly right for a 5/16-18 tap- - - -no drilling required. A drop of blue LocTite on the machine screw will keep it secure without a lock washer or a nut on the back side. Jerry
