Bought new rear brake camshaft brackets. Not too familiar with solid rivets. What rivet die do I need to install the brackets?
Any other hints on making this successful will be appreciated.

Whatever "bucking" bar you use, make sure it's HEAVY! I use a 4" piece of 4" round stock. I counter bored some shallow holes, to accept the rivet heads.

I'm looking to farm this job out. Pretty sure it's beyond my capabilities.
