Exactly what I just suggested a few moments ago. On the Olds it looks like a rivet but really isnn't. It's a shoulder bolt with a flattened button head, milled on two sides for a wrench grip. The problem I'm facing with the Olds is how to stretch the spring enough with the hinge on the car to reinsert a new shoulder bolt, or whether to remove the hinge completely and try it on the bench. It's a pretty hefty spring to say the least.
