It was a hopeless case. I could beat the rivets with a hammer on the vice and they would not "set". Using the tool was a joke. I took one of the rivets to a local machine shop and had them built the same dimension as the rivet but leave/put a threaded end on it. Use stainless and get a self locking nut with the nylon in it and your good to go. http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r19/LutherParris/52Panel/wingventrivet004.jpghttp://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r19/LutherParris/52Panel/wingventrivet001.jpgNot the best pictures in the world but you can get the idea. I do need to cut the ends off a little but all is well. I paid $20 for 10 of them but hey, no shipping and the guy lives a mile from my house!! | | |
