Re: frame rivets
I believe the original frame rivets were 11/32, very difficult to find, not sure if anyone even makes that size any long. So the next size up is 7/16, whether you use rivets or grade 8 bolts. If you go the rivet route there's a couple of rivet mfg.’s that have instructions on their web sites as how to install them.
They need to be cut to a certain length, metal thickness + a certain amount for peening. You also need the tools and an oxygen/acetylene torch. Bolts are much easier, but the rivets done right look factory.

PS: I bought a big box of rivets and have many left over.
