Yeah,trying to remember to maybe 5 years ago, some kind of swaged fastener and trying to beat that back tight. Have been times when I resorted to a tack weld and then ground off the excess. If a hole has gotten hogged out maybe fill it with weld and re-drill. Two downsides to powder coat, have to take all the parts off the trailer and possible heavy build-up making tight tolerances too tight. No doubt durability is excellent. usually found I just had to get started and then use the whole toolbox to do what seemed to be needed. I know I thought about remaking a couple of arms but could always work them back into shape once I got them off.
Good luck, Mark D
