Heater Box Rivets

[Joel T.]

Hi all,

I'm ready to put my 1965 heater box back together using those little aluminum rivets. Other than positioning the box in all sort of strange ways as I try and peen them, is there a better way to get this done, perhaps with a pair of pliers or a special tool??

Thx,

Joel

Harry,

Thanks! I figured somebody must make a tool for this purpose! Joel

Joel, on some of the rivets you use only the punch part of the tool while resting the heater box on a vise. You will need an extra set of hands.
