Title: 1/4" rivets
Post by: dguy on May 19, 2010, 01:13:02 pm
Darn GM and some of their body fasteners...   :-\

I have two aluminum "banana peel" type rivets which I need to set, which have a 1/4" shank.  Most tool & hardware stores only sell riveters which can handle up to a 3/16" shank...  Ottawa Fastener Supply has a monster riveter, however forking out $200-$300 to set two rivets is a bit excessive.

Does anyone happen to have a 1/4" riveter which I could borrow, or know where I could rent one from?

...or know why I didn't think to check Princess Auto, which has one for under $40?   ::)

Try borrowing one from an auto glass shop! $$ up front and return in an hour...
or from a tool rental shop
