Rivet gun for body rivets?

Bowslayer · 06-02-2012, 11:41 AM

What type gun have you used for the large rivets on the rear body of a txt? I just looked at the rivets and they will not even fit in my rivet gun. Plus they are stainless so I don't know if it would pop them anyway.

I purchased an Astro Pneumatic 1426 1/4-Inch Heavy-Duty Hand Riveter off of Amazon for under $30. Works great on the large (and small) body rivets! Harbor Freight may have a similar model if your are near one of their stores.

I bought a patr from Harbor Frieght Two long blue handles, $20. They worked great for me, or should I say my 9yr old being hid did most of them!!

I went several places and could not find a riveter locally so I ordered the astro pneumatic from Amazon.

Thanks for the info!
