    62 Restoration questions

    Need advice on the proper method to install the rivets on the trunk spring towers. I removed them to repair stress cracks that formed under the old rivets. I would like to install correct style rivets but I'm having a difficult time in peening over the tail. Thanks in advance for helpfull suggestions.

    make a dolly that'll "fit" the head of the rivit(i used an old c-1 king pin, drilled a superficial hole in the end of the king pin just deep enough and diameter that of the head of the rivet) . then get your buddy to dolly the head while you peen the tail with a ballpeen hammer.mike

      Ron,

      If you are interested, I have a restoration of a '62 on VHS available- It doesn't cover the spring towers, but it does cover alot more. Contact me at jmbiii@yahoo.com if you would like more details.

      Regards,

      Jim

        Ron, call Richard Dunham, our Judging Chairman - he has the correct rivets for that application, and a tool he fabricated to peen them.
