Tony - 

I am sorry I can't offer the information you seek. I agree that the rivets are
a problem; I solved it in my case by fitting them at 45 degrees - see:

<http://www.rowlandcarson.org.uk/aviation/europa_435/201203.php> and scroll 
down to day 21

In your situation, I'd be inclined to order a new link rod etc and re-make it as
I'm not sure that there would be enough meat left to support another rivet.

While you're at it, you may also fall foul (!) of another issue - you'll see my
solution to that on this page:
