Rob Aluminum would be easier, but is there any concern about a galvanic reaction using aluminum rivets on Steel?

Beats me. Chemistry is not one of my strong suits. I usually seal my work up pretty good with an epoxy primer if that makes any difference.

What you need is the help of an old time Ironworker, a real pneumatic rivet gun and the proper bucking bar to accomplish this, just like the originals...

A Jeep restorer used button head socket cap screws then filled in the allen socket in the head with weld and tack welded the nut. I haven't tried this myself.
