I just replaced the chain case bearings on my 94 Polaris RXL 650 and after doing all the work I had one bolt left to complete the job. I was putting the rear suspension back in and I had the sled on its side to put the last bolt in. Got it in and turned the sled over and realized I had snapped the opposide side rear mount for the suspension(my suspension is held on by 4 bolts, two in the front and two in the rear, I snapped the rear one). I drilled out the mount piece and will try to get it welded today. My question is, do I need to use the rivets again to put the mount back in or can i use some bolts with lock washeds and a lock nut? Also, will the welded peice be able to hold or should I search for a new/used one? If I need to use the rivets, where can I ge them and what kind of tool puts them in. They seem to be airplane type rivets, not the little ones you get for sheet metal.
