Default Rivets

Hi i have just spent the last four days riveting one and a half of my carriers, i had thort about the bolts idea but i think that for the extra time and effort needed you might as well do it with rivets.
this is what we did first make a forge the trick is to keep the rivets cherry red 2nd get some old chisle for the hammers and shape the ends to fit your rivets 3rd hire 2 kango hammers and just try a few its not that hard and i feel well happy knowing my carriers are rivetted and that ive done them. some rivets might not look that nice but so what nothing that a grinder and a coat of paint wont cure ive put up some photos will take some close ones and put them up later

thanks martyn
