ok thanks. I'll give it a try. I actually inserted a piece of pipe before trying to use a rivet but the handle still move when i used it and after a while the rivet comes off whilst in the middle of use. I was just thinking that it may not weld properly when i used the propane torch. To be safe, I will perhaps remove the top frame from the body as the heat could travel into the fuel tank. Glad that you mentioned the rod to use as i wasn't sure which one.
Not sure what are the profane accessories. I only have the torch itself but i need to get an eye protection glasses and a gloves too i suppose.
