Riveting the KOP Frame

Our team is currently working on cutting back on our weight. The andymark KOP frame has 32 nuts and 32 bolts holding it together and I am considering replacing them with bolts. We have we have 3/4inch long rivets so they do not go through the frame so I was considering using one on the top and bottom. How much of a problem would it be to rivet the frame together? Should we rivet them all, rivet half, or don't do it at all?

Any thoughts would be very welcome!
