Rivet Installation / Air Hammer 2 Attachment(s)
I would like to replace the corner covers on my hood and the rubber parts that are riveted onto the hood.
I have this kit minus the yellow rivet tool. http://www.brattons.com/product.asp?...istory=related What size air hammer would work with the rivet installation kit I have? Would this one work?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=170247118307 **1 5/8" stroke provides the power for general cutting chipping and scraping needs **At 5000 blows per minute provides the speed for fast exhaust removal and masonry **Built in power regulator to control speed during delicate usage **Designed to use with .401 Parker taper chisels Would the yellow rivet tool from Brattons work for what I want to do? I am not sure it would be deep enough. |
Re: Rivet Installation / Air Hammer Bill,

Re: Rivet Installation / Air Hammer Bill, you are flirting with disaster using a pneumatic tool to set tubular rivets. I use something similar to this tool.

Re: Rivet Installation / Air Hammer Tubular rivets can be set nicely with a pneumatic tool - I have done it. Brent is correct that the very small tubular rivets could be a problem with an air hammer like for the hood rivets. You do need to buy a special semi-tubular tool bit to use to do it on larger rivets. I bought my tool from Big Flats Rivet company. It works very well on 3/16" semi-tubular rivets used for riveting metal seat fames together and installing the metal seat stops on the wood frame of a coupe seat cushion. I have done both with very nice looking results. You do need to reduce the air pressure to 40-50 # as the tubular end is a little fragile. I think the yellow tool you have in the picture would work fine for hood corner rivets. I think the hood rivets are very similar in size to brake rivets, which the tool was made for setting. Hope this helps.
