Hi,
Thanks for the link to the rivets.
Yes, we still need a way to fasten them. Perhaps some sort of die mounted in an old pair of C-clamp type Vice Grips?
Eastwood Co. (auto restoration) used to have special tools made for things like dimpling of sheet metal, or flange making. I haven't checked, but they might have something that would smash down on these rivets evenly.
Take care,
Gary.
Maybe some idea on creating your won 'squeezer' by using these as a pattern?
