In the process of restoring the Anson. The roll bar has been removed due to damage before I got it. I do have a replacement. Originally it was epoxied and riveted. It’s been replaced before and some of the rivet holes don’t line up or are wallowed out some. Any reason I can’t replace the rivets with proper AN bolts and nylocks? If so should I still use epoxy too? While I’m no engineer I’m thinking that I’ll be adding a slight amount of weight but the strength in both shear and peel will be greatly increased.
I’m trying to get it all fitted before sending it for powder coating.
