Default REFRESH MY MEMORY !!!(bolting rotors on)

Awhile back I read a post about bolting the rotors back on after drilling the rivets out. I've been to the hardware store and can't find bolts with small enough heads to fit in the indentation where the rivet heads were! Any help would be appreciated----pictures would be great if possible!! THANX Rick

Yes, what Brutus said above. The rivits were only there to aid assembly, and once removed need not be replaced. The wheel when attached will hold the rotors tight.
