Further Oy
Hello,
First, rivets are stronger in shear than in tension, so if there's a place for them, it could be here. But screws, properly isolated, are better still. As for the compression tube and its weld, just ignore it; with a proper length on the bolt thread you don't need a compression tube. Instead, get tang bushings, and drill to suit. The idea is to get a bearing on more wall molecules with a larger hole.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
