EZGO TXT Rear Body 1/4" Rivets
Guys, does anyone have a suggestion on how to install the rear body 1/4" rivets that hold body to frame at the rocker area? I can not find a rivet gun that goes larger than 3/16" rivets. Also does anyone have a detailed list that shows which rivet in the EZGO TXT rivet kit goes where? I saw the thread that shows the sizes but looking for possibly a drawing that shows the actual rivet and where it goes.

Re: EZGO TXT Rear Body 1/4" Rivets
I used a hand-held Rivet gun I got from Harbor freight. It works decently.
I do not have a detailed diagram of which rivets go where. |

Word of caution on the blue one from hf: it wants to jump a bit when the rivet pops. I learned the hard way and put a bit of a scratch in my new body. I taped the area around where I was riveting the rest of the way and had no more problems. I've got the parts manual for my 2001 that shows which rivets go where but I won't be home until tomorrow. If you still need it then, message me with your email, and I'll send it to you. |

I personally have the exact same rivet gun as the other two guys, and I bought it when I did my first cart, works like a champ.

Re: EZGO TXT Rear Body 1/4" Rivets
I have one of these that does up to 1/4" rivets. After popping the rivet the stud falls down into a container. https://www.amazon.com/Astro-1423-13...4%7CB00HZBX1OO Note that this type of rivet gun takes quite a bit of room and doesn't work well in confined spaces. Both handles swing out to about 45°.

You don't have to use rivets just because the factory did!
Its a time and cost thing at the factory! Just sayin |

Re: EZGO TXT Rear Body 1/4" Rivets
I have the HF 3/16 pneumatic rivet gun and love it. Is it the best quality out there ? No but I have put in a bunch of rivets and my forearms thank me for it. Where the 1/4 rivets go in the body I usually use one of the rivets made for the dash with a washer behind it or just put a 1/4-20 bolt in

I have a manual rivet gun called the Big Daddy and that works fantastic.
