I have a friend that needs to refit the crown wheel to his 28, as it has loose rivots, much like my 28 back in 2007 when I discovered the rivots were well on the way to shearing off.
What a mess that would have made??
Luckily I had a complete crown wheel and carrier to swap over.
Anyway, what would the wiser heads than mine suggest, traditional rivots or bolts, and if bolts, what size , and should they be high tensile?
Sorry for so many questions in one posting
Cheers
Ray
Some say "Street is neat". I prefer "1928 is great" I have documented my 45 years with a 1928 Chev Tourer, from 1973 to 2018, and regulary add other items that I hope are of interest to others. Your comments are most welcome.The story of the Red Chev can be viewed at http://my28chev.blogspot.com/

Hi Ray I had my diff redone 12 years ago, and they used high tensile bolts has done over 50,000km and no a murmer, I would say the rivets would be softer than the bolts as they have to be to be peined over and this is why they wear and shear off after only 50years! Looking to find the guy who did it so I can get another done, but no one knows where he moved to, typical find a good tradie and they leave every 10 years go figure? RAY

I used Huck-bolts to do the job on my '25 but grade 8 bolts or cap screws would work, if there is room.
