rivets.
Richard, When i did mine it wasnt a big enough challange and wanted to punish myself further, you have used coach bolts there, try getting a 5/16" truss head rivet and putting a thread on it aswell like i did, then make 100 more of them aswell as drilling and tapping out the 3/8" round head rivet like you have then you will wish you could master the rivet gun.
Its o.k. and looks fine with a bit of bashing over at the end but boy what a boring job it was doing 100.
You will need therapy at the end of it, if i did it again i would gear myself up for riveting, its also the correct way of doing it.
kev.
