This has come up recently elsewhere. The chassis were rivetted together. The rivets are basically mild steel.
Substituting HT bolts, even in clearance holes is probably a betterment, given the improved clamping possible with the HT bolts, vs the mild steel rivets.
Personally I've used both imperial and metric button heads in the past. Use whatever locking mechanisms you like. I cut flush and put some evil pop marks in them.
Ive just been under my saloon chassis, assembled some 25 years ago with some bolts where repairs were made. No problems to be seen
