Military-Vehicles: [MV] Replacing Rivets

[MV] Replacing Rivets

What are people using when they need to replace removed rivets on a MB
or GPW frame? I have to re-attach some of the shackle brackets and the
rear cross member on my GPW frame.

I have been told by some to use carriage bolts or slotted screws and
solder or fill in the slot, or have the head of a bolt machined to look
like the head of the rivet. This will work fine on the rear cross
member, but replacing the front lower bumper brackets and shackle
brackets you will still be left with a nut on one side. As far as real
riveting goes, I have no idea at all.

Any help here would be appricated.

Thanks

Rick Perotti
