I was thinking of using some vinyl I have to make a cover over the front of my buggy, kind of like a boat cover. Thought I'd use snaps, anyone know of any that use bolts? I've used the ones with screws b4 but can't recall bolt on ones. Thanks, Jason

do you really want to drill the tubing full of holes? maybe consider grommets and zip ties.

I want to weld on a few tabs, then bolt on flat stock with the snaps.

if you're willing to weld tabs on you might consider this stuff. i made my body with it. i used the fat head pop rivets. you can bend it in a brake and it holds it's shape, doesn't rattle, not brittle in the winter, no paint to peel or chip, won't rust, etc. i love the stuff.
