Deve,

Thanks for sharing the link! I just looked over this article. If something like this is really possible with just a 4x rivet gun, then I already have all the tools I need to try this! I have both a 4x and a 6x gun. I've used them to set different kinds of aircraft rivets in panels for other projects. I was imagining the gun needed would be a LOT bigger. I could even make and harden my own setter with some S-7 I have in my scrap bin. I will get my hands on some rivets, and try it out on some scrap. wink

One thing for sure, when I get these spring hangers off the frame, I'm going check them for cracks (magnaflux)...

Thanks for all the replies everyone! It's helping me build a picture of what's possible.

Take care,

David
