Hi gang. I'm sure someone out there has replaced a rear cross member on a C-1. Mine is a "61". What is the best method for installation of the rivet to get the "correct" look?

Re: C-1 rear cross member correct look rivets
One method that was recommended was to heat the rivet to cherry red with a torch then peen with a hammer. You will need something on the head as a bucking bar. I have a very large grade 8 bolt that I ground a semi circle into the tip to fit the head of the rivet and use to buck against the peening hammer of the other end. Of course I don't know how good this will work as I have not done it yet.
