C1 Door post whiskers

Is there a tool to set the rivets to install the door post whisker on a 1958

Re: C1 Door post whiskers

There is a tool that you can use to crush rivets.

I used the www.yardstore.com tool http://www.yardstore.com/browse.cfm/4,4753.html

and also purchased: 16305, 11211, 10110, 16308.

This let me do all of the rivet setting I needed to do so far including door posts and was very easy to use. I even used this for setting the rebound strap rivets. I still need to do my hardtop.

Hope this helps,

Tony

You can also use a small air hammer that can be dialed to to 5 - 9 psi and a heavy metal bar held against the small end of the rivet. I purchased the air hammer from The Northern Tool for < $10, but have not tried it yet. Try googling "Aero Rivet Tool", it will do the same thing and it is < $100.

Thank you. One thing that I have learned from this board is that no matter how much that you think you know, you will always learn something new here.
