Pulling Rivets around "Z" brackets?

Getting close. I watched the new Van's video on tank construction and sealing, and he referenced an RV-12 close quarters rivet puller, or fashioning a small wedge to get the job done. I can't find the RV-12 rivet puller on line anywhere, and my instructions don't reference any small wedge. I do find a "Close quarter rivet pulling wedge" at Cleveland tools. Is this what people are using?
 
I think the wedge is detailed in section 5 of the construction manual where there’s lots of other good information as well;)
The tool you mentioned from Cleveland tools will also work if you don’t want to make your own wedge but I personally like the homemade ones because I think they’re more versatile and easy to position how you want them since it doesn’t have a handle on it.
