Default rivet?

Ok, I should have done this before, but here is a picture of what I
want to duplicate. Go to http://farm1.static.flickr.com/178/4...dc9310.jpg?v=0
to view it. You'll see the end of 1" bar set into a small piece of 1"
channel, with some sort of rivet device providing an axel to allow the
bar to rotate 90 degrees. Any new ideas on how to duplicate this
device?


I would still think that any machine screw, maybe with a hex head, and
a nut with a nylon insert, that won't fall off. Maybe first put on a
regular nut and then jamb the second nut down on top of it. Use a
thin wrench to hold the first nut in place while tightening.

If that fails some day, decide then if you need something better.

Thanks!
