[SEL] Riveting

[Peter Lowe]

Hi guys

I am not the expert here but these are what I have and typically can't find 
the rest somewhere in my shed.
http://www.oldengine.org/members/plowe/rv-engines/rivets.htm this is a dead 
link off my R&V site.
You can see the form part of the tool, not sure what the hole is used for, I 
asked my Dad but he is not sure either. The other top hole goes down about 
3/4" and has another hole coming in from the edge???

Also look at:

As has already been said, you can just shape a drill bit and drill into the 
end of a steel block, that then forms the head of the rivet. A piece of 
steel bar or flat can be used to flatten the rear side.
I have used large welding rods, clean off the flux and cut to length, the 
tool will form a head for you,
