Re: Peening a 3/8" x 1" rivet?

OK, thanks. Will just tighten it down as well as possible.

What about the width of the hole and bolt considering the threads?

Should I drill the holes larger so they will take a bolt on which the amount of solid metal going through the holes is closer to the diameter of the original holes and solid metal rivet?

Or would a bolt fitting the existing holes suffice even though the diameter of solid metal would be less due to the threads?

Do you folks always drill a bigger hole rather than use the original hole diameter?
