No problem, the rivet actually holds on a inner fender brace, just like the original fenders had. The only difference was the new fenders had a new style rivet showing in a countersunk hole. The original was a round head rivet and there was no counter sunk hole. I had to weight my options and decided to just smooth out the new fenders or they were going to look goofy with the modern rivet. I thought about plug welding it all together but I already had them Line X on the back side and I didn't want to warp the crap out of them either, so I went with welding the screw head and bolting on the brace in the back.I'll clip the bolts a bit shorter later. Now go ship in your hat
Just kidding
