The side plates of the hood have the locking mechanism on them. If I remove the locking mechanism by drilling out the rivets is there a fastener available to replace the rivets that looks presentable? Thank you.

I plan to bolt my hood halves back together in lieu of riveting. Spot welds will be puddle welded. | | |
