Ramp Flaps

[Sam C]

So next questions now that I have removed all the rivets from my old ramp! (Thanks for the help on that everybody). I've got a rivet gun and can get the majority of the rivets back in place no problem. However what the hell are these that hold the ramp flaps in place? Are these just more rivets that have a flat head? If so can anybody point me in the direction of where I could get hold of them and how to fit them to the ramp? Thanks!

They are called semi-tubular rivets.

You can't do those with a rivet gun, you need a press like this to put them in https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/...b-1-2-ton-arbor-press?da=1&TC=SRC-rivet press

The only place I know where you can buy the correct rivets is from the US website http://www.pinrestore.com/Riveting.html

I think you'll need the correct dies as well.

Last time this question came up some very kind pinhead stepped forward and said " send it to me and I'll rivet it for you ", can't remember who that anonymous hero was ( it wasn't me lol ).

Yes it was me, and will step up again but I think @Paul has beat me to it.
He also has the kit to do the job and is a great guy as well.
