Re: Converting frame over to bolts instead of rivets

I would take a good look at your frame and look for the rust between the peices its pretty easy to tell where and what should be removed for cleaning up.those rivits are in there very tight and its hard for rust too form between most of the peices. so be selective on witch rivits and only remove what is nessacery.

I have found that the hole left by removeing rivits can be tapped with a 7/16 tap threading the holes helps too keep everything tight.
