Well, it's not the C section that I am having problems with. I can
have it welded it to the horizontal bar. It is the riveting of the
vertical bar to the C section that I am trying to figure out. You can
see in the picture the cap of the rivet-like device that is going
through the C section, then it goes through the entire thickness of
the vertical bar, and then through the other side of the C section
where it is capped again. Is there such a thing as a rivet that is
more than an inch long?


Grandpa beat me to the clevis pin suggestion. Visit a boating
supplies shop for this item. An alternative solution is to scour a
groove onto each end of a suitable metal rod and use an E-clip on each
groove to hold the rod in place.
