I would never go back to rivets. Was involved with replacing sections on 12 30' platforms and six 40' platforms on the harvest for thirteen years, all with bolt on sections. We replaced thousands of knife sections. Once you learn the feel of tightening the nuts the sections stay tight until they need to be replaced. If we broke a sickle I would remove the bolts and sections from the broken sickle in my spare time for reuse. I have twisted off a few bolts trying to get them "just a little tighter" so it does take a little time to get the feel. Also, there are the bolts that need to be held from turning with an allen wrench. If a person does have this kind of bolt I can see why he would want to go back to rivets! The bolts I am talking about are splined on the sides and are a press fit in the hole.
