My rivets failed several years ago in the midst of an Iowa winter. NO
fun to do cold.  I fixed it once and for all.  Took two #10 pan head
stainless machine screws and pooked them through the floor and used ss
fender washers and ss nylox nuts and you wil lneed a 2nd pair of hands
to finish the tightening sequence.  I was not going ot have this happen
again....

YMMV
