I installed mine with steel rivets, 1/4" grip. I was leery of using
alum. I just drilled them in the middle of the flat spots in each
corner. Assuming you can access the backside of the screw to install
the nut, I don't see why not. I would use a screw head or flat
washer that has at least as much contact surface as a 3/16" rivet
since the bracket flexes even when riveted.
