[QUOTE="DMack, post: 462001, member: 24366"] Those L channel brackets are pretty thin so I'd like to leave them in place and beef them up or replace with something more substantial. If I replace them I'd have to grind off the rivets and re-secure the new ones. Can I use pop rivets or do they have to be the other style (brazier, I think?) It would be easier for me to use bolts, washers and nylock nuts but I think stainless would react with the aluminum. Thanks in advance for any tips, this will definitely be a learning curve for me.
