Besides the thickness of the metal is less than a 1/16" thick so that would not make much difference in the length of the rivets. I was not the one who took off all the wood and rivets but to my knowledge the original wood was not grooved either.  If I had taken off the wood I would have kept a rivet for size and length. As far as the rod goes, I never gave that a thought. I guess it could be done just much more work. But then where would I be able to buy that size rod. Thanks for your help</p></blockquote><p></p>
