'67 Washer Bag Bracket Rivet Upset??

[David J.]

Is the washer bag bracket upset flat, domed or something else? Is the upset end hammered or bucked? Does anyone have any pics of an original "bracket side" rivet?
Thank you.

Yea, the Judging manual only mentions the non-a/c rivets. And I wouldn't think they'd have different ones for that on the line but someone here may know better than me.
I just did my non-a/c with the round head ones from LIC. They are installed from the wheel side and bucked up against the bracket.

Bill,
Any shape to the bucked up end or "smashed" flat?
Thank you.

The ends are slightly rounded over like the factory ones (I saved some of the ones I pulled out). I made my own buck that fits my air chisel from a $1.25 Harbor Freight chisel.
I did 56 rivets the other day without screwing one up.

The washer bracket was a tad harder to buck because of the location and having to do it lefthanded. The buck slipped a bit but all this gets a second coat of paint anyway.

I couldn't get a real good pic but.....
