Surely all these rivets do is hold the stud in position, they are hardly "safety critical". The main clamping force is applied when the wheel nuts are done up.Yes all understood but I don't like doing a non reversible mod like drilling out holes in such places.(hubs).....I did in fact ease out the holes in the stud flange with a thin round file in my drill.
I would like to get a spare set of the larger 1938/39 7/big7 hubs front and rear as spares.......not yet had time to ask around.
