Default Tubular Rivet Setting tools

I am about to replace the 1/4 vent rubber seals etc. on my '42 Sedan Delivery and need to find a source for setting tools or punches to set the tubular rivets that are supplied for attaching the seals.

I bought a squeezer but the dies are too large in diameter to fit in the tight spaces to set these rivets, especially on the back edge seal for the 1/4 window which fits on the front of the vertical division bar.

What have others done to complete this job?

Thanks in advance,

Meric.

Google "vent window rivet setting tool" and you'll find something. I bought a whole kit including the tool and rivets for my 52 truck but, I don't remember where. I THINK it was Mid Fifty or Classic Haulers?

I bought one from home depot supply, I found it by doing a image search on Google. This looks like what I used. I ordered it on line and picked it up at the store.

If you can't find one at Home depot, try Big Flats Rivet co.
