No, but that is what some people do. I was just pointing out that if that had been done, there would be quite a number of extra fastenigs required.
In 1980, when we had driven "Slack Alice" around 70,000 miles and done trials and road rallies, I found all the nosepiece rivets were loose.
Not having the time or experience or the kit - I used what I had easily available - which was a carbon-arc torch on my electric welder - and ran heavy lines of braze top and bottom of the
nosepiece junction with the rest of the chassis.
It is still there and still solid, last time I looked, which was the body off rebuild in 2011.
