personally we attach with bolts and drill out every other one to a 5_16 for piece of mind - when we have time. Using plated 1_2"length with locknuts or 3_4" with lock washers looks neat. Plenty of clearance inside. Some have square punched the hole for 1_4" carriage hd bolts. I also had one customer who didn't have a riveting machine who heated the rivets red and then banged them in - and came up to show me the blisters on the fingertips... and wanted to know how we got them in.. when I told him we didn't use rivets he kind of looked at his fingers and mumbled something....
