Riveted on the Vertical Bars

The plans called for AN426D4-14 rivets, which are some really long-ass rivets. But they were still to short to really do a good job of riveting. There weren't any other longer rivets, so I just did as good as I could. I can see where these rivets don't really do anything structural, since these bars are really held in place later with the bolts anyway. So the "too-short" rivets are just to hold the bars in place until final assembly.
