The Ford Barn - View Single Post - what tool do I need to install hood corners

kimeccles · 02-11-2018, 06:31 PM

Tubular rivets. I see very expensive stuff and some cheaper vice grip mods.

I want to install the correct tubular rivets for the round hood bumpers and the leather corners on the back. Is there a good clamp or plier thing for these specific ones? I already got the tool for the split rivets for the shroud, but these are the tube type and too hard or damaging to just hammer them.

thanks,
Kim
