Re: Who sells frame bolts that look like rivets
I use "button-head" cap-screws and fill the recess in the head with bondo, sand them down, and then paint them. All of this after assembly (you need something to hold the bolt while you tighten it). I think all carriage bolts are grade 2 (or even less) and not very strong. I replaced the front cross member in my '36 Ford this way and it looked good and held strong over the ten years I owned the car.
You can find suppliers with Google. I would imagine McMaster-Carr or Fastenal would be sources.
