Iv been thinking about this because Iv got a front Tuff that Iv got to replace the hub on.
Iv got a friend who has a lathe, Im going to ask if he could make some.

Getting the rivets aint the problem, installing them is. The process is called spin riveting and is a pain in the butt. it's possible though.
Google the term spin riveting and check it out.
