M MDeCraene13 Member Nov 2, 2021 #1 I am curious how others dimpled the two rivets on either side of the gear towers. The two left at rivets are shown in the attachment. The weldments get in the way of a squeezer. Attachments 063CF322-3138-494D-99FB-BDE3CB78603F.jpg 240.4 KB · Views: 84

PaulvS Well Known Member Nov 2, 2021 #2 A close quarters (pop rivet) dimpler should work in that situation. https://www.cleavelandtool.com/products/3_32-close-quarters-die-set Another way to do it is with a male dimple die in the end of a drilled rivet set and a rivet gun, with a female "die" made by countersinking a hole in a flat piece of metal.
