Riveting Subject!

Hi All,

After installing my new leaf springs and pins I went for a victory drive. It was cut short by a severe rattling coming from the front. On close inspection I discovered the 3 rivets connecting the cross bar (tube) to the frame rail in front for the radiator were broken clean through. I have now drilled them out and replaced them with HT bolts.

I wonder if any of the other hammered rivets used in the construction of the frame are similarly broken or loose?

Any experience of this out there?

Pat.
