      And here I anticipated you saying "they look better with that homemade vanilla ice cream atop them".

        Here's another option for the semi tubular rivets. I purchased a rivet tool a couple of weeks ago and used it with great results on a inner window channel. The channel inside the door had been torn out on a 29CC pickup and was missing. I was able to find another original replacement piece. I have the support bracket riveted to the window channel and ready to go back in. In this case, the C clamp type rivet tool would not work since I will have to reach inside the door with the tool to form the rivets. I made a very small bucking bar to fit the head of the rivet but you could probably use a flat piece of metal since these 5/32" rivets are so lightweight. The tool runs about $25 at most of the A vendors.

        Hey Mitch, forgive my ignorance, but what is the use of the center piece on your rivet tool?
        You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command!

                  1. How do you compress those small hollow, with one closed end rivets like they send with the hood corner pads, hood bumpers and crank hole cover? There must be a special tool that I don’t have.

                  Rivet question
                  by wrndln
                  I am in the process of installing the rivets in the sub frame/floorpan/seat frame of my 29 CCPU. I am using 7/16" long 3/16" diameter brazier head rivets. I am setting the rivets cold with a waffle tool in a CP 3X rivet gun. These rivets are long enough for all but 2 of the places rivets are required. I can't find any longer brazier head rivets after looking high and low – Big Flats Rivet...

                  Riveting steel rivets
                  by Steve Plucker
                  What is the rule of thumb when it comes to riveting steel rivets?

                  If I were riveting a 1/4 inch diameter steel rivet to connect two pieces of metal together...would/should the shank of the rivet that is protruding out of the hole be 1-1/2 times the diameter of the 1/4 inch rivet? In other words the length of the shank of the rivet protruding out of the hole should be 3/8 inch in length?...

                  by Roadster Rich
                  Trying to get this Town Sedan ready for the buyer. Agreed to get good running engine only, but now he wants it to drive in a parade in mid August. The brakes are pretty bad and I have to at least get it safe for a little while for him to use. All this effort and cost and no change in the sale price, but I guess that is par for the course when you sell to a friend.

                  I have some pictures...
