[Tony]

Hello please can you help, on my RFM please can someone tell me how to install the small dome rivets? on the skip/Jump ramp is there some kind of special tool required?

With a rivet press.

I know as little as you about this. I have a riveter which works really well, but it doesn't do the 'domed' rivets - they have a dip/hole in the centre which may affect the way the ball rolls over them. It may be just a case of getting different rivets to load in the riveter.
Pinball Heaven will rivet it for you:

Thanks for the response's I had thought it riveted to the playfield but it may rivet to a bracket? I'll have a look and come back, if it's a bracket I'll take you up on your offer Andy, the press's looks like a wind up press type device might be something available thanks guys

The flap rivets to a bracket underneath that connects to the lift mechanism. You can unbolt it from underneath the playfield and lift it out
