Loose rivets...rear wheel spline cup

My splines actually separated from the wheel at freeway speed. All the rivets popped loose on an upshift. Instant neutral in all gears. That was about 20 years ago. I repaired the problem by drilling the holes out and putting in 7mm bolts with nuts on the outside of the wheel. I ground a portion of the heads off so they fit flush against the hub. The bolts are tight to this day, no issues what so ever.

I agree with what Major Softie said about the ovalization not being likely if they are not all loose. I would peen the loose ones and maybe give the other ones a warning tap to make sure they know better than to come loose.
