Thanks to all for the information being posted.

I had it in the back of my mind to 'cheat' so to speak and use Ht coach bolts to replace the two side panels on the scout carrier (farmer brown had literally cut plough blades out of both armour plates.

My question is -

Has anyone else taken the short cut with coach bolts and
once fitted up and painted, is it obvious that the heads don't match ?

I can rivet if it's absolutely necessary but it's not something I have the skills or equipment to do myself and I hate having to outsource anything.

Cheers
