FWIW I used MGB bumper bolts for the front crossmember in my 41 pickup. I filed the chrome off the heads and turned down the part under the head. They do make a good faux rivet. I did it because I had to have the chassis number checked and being right by the rivets I thought it best if the crossmember looked like it did when it left the factory.
