Hi everyone,

I’ve riveted on my canopy decks, all but the last few rivets circled in the photo are set. Access is too tight for even my small tungsten bucking bar to the last few. Anybody have any good ideas to avoid going cherry max?

Ta!

Back rivet plate

I believe I used my back rivet plate for these as a bucking bar.

Thanks Doug... I should be able to do something similar.

Cheers

Flat bar

I used a piece of mild steel bar to reach all of those, 3/8" thick x 3 inches x 5 inches, both ends are polished, one end is angled.

Back rivet plate was too thick, but I did manage to make my own bucking bar to do the job.

Thanks guys!

Use one of the squeezer yokes as the bucking bar...
