Richard, outstanding!
I watched your YouTube video of the rivetting process that you used.
Glad to see when a restorer "does it right", no cheating with cheesy carriage bolt wannabes and the like that most guys use.
It appears that your carrier utilizes more "re-manufacture" than "replica" techniques. Doing it correctly, to proper specs and dimensions and it would be difficult to tell the difference from original.
