A few months back I had an issue where the rivets (that Gord&Fran are talking about) were loose. I was able to tighten them using a punch I made on my lathe (but could easily be duplicated with a grinder). The idea was a tapered punch to expand and compress the rivet. I used my 20 ton press to tighten the rivets, but I’m sure backing the rivet on a vice and using. BFH would do the trick.
