I have two bikes now with rivets replaced with small nuts and bolts as I was too cheap to buy new guards.

My mudguards are held together with bolts too. I figured if I bought new ones they would simply break in the same place in another 18 months but with bolts and washers I should get several years of service.

The tab that connects the metal bridge thing to the frame on the rear wheel broke so I drilled the leftover part and rivetted it to a right angle bracket, adding some epoxy for good measure, and reassembled it all.

To cut the stays using bolt cutters, I just stood on the short end of the stay while cutting; the long end was too heavy to go flying off.
