Do I have to rivet the rear reflector bracket on to the mudguard or can I bolt it?

I've used stainless button head hex bolts in the past - look quite neat  Dusty  |

I got a reflector and bracket off of Norbo then bought a cheap pop rivet gun to mount it. I thought I was being dead clever by colouring the rivet heads in with an olive green sharpie.....ok I'll get me coat.....

Hi everyone, as an aside to this how does norbo,s bracket fit. Is it on the front edge of the mudguard or does it fit behind. I can’t find a pic anywhere.

I put mine behind the mudguard so you’ve just got the two rivet heads showing on the front side  |

Mate, you're gonna need lots of nuts and bolts and washers. Buy them in assorted sizes and in bulk, you'll save a fortune in the long run!
