On the Ford frame parts we manufacture we offer either rivets or button head machine screws for re-installation. The button head screw is by far the most popular choice of customers, and it's about the same size and shape of a rivet head-just fill in the hex key cavity, and don't look behind the joint or you'll see the nuts holding the joint together! If you decide to use the screws, you won't be alone, and in 25+ years of supplying the frame parts this way, I haven't had one comeback because of hardware failure! Needless to say, the re-instellation is that much simpler! Dave Maher
