Rivet set Diameter?

[Patrick N.]

Does anyone know off hand what size rivet set diameter I would need to replicate how the rivets were set from factory? I have a flush set and flush back set for my pneumatic rivet gun but want to use the rivet set that will leave a slight "dome" on the end of the rivet shank once the rivet is in place.
I am ordering from Aircraft Tool supply if that helps.
Thanks.

Re: Rivet set Diameter?

A #5 or #6 universal set should cover most of your needs. Instead of buying these new, I just buy used stuff off eBay. Much cheaper... take this auction for example.....
