Here's some pics of the area I'm talking about. Hopefully they will help. I was reading that GM used some type of press at the factory and that's what gave it the cuts. The more I look at it, once the old rivet is gone, is there any reason I couldn't just weld the rivet to the hinge. It doesn't turn anyways, it's just there for the arm to swivel on. Here's the pics:
