I recently re-riveted the rear engine crossmember and made a procedure for it. It's here.. http://speedprint.com/deves50/doc/framerivets.pdfI do not recommend using bolts because they serve a different purpose. Has to do with physics and engineering shear strengths, etc. Grade 8 bolts WILL work, but its not the best. | | |
