I have a pneumatic squeezer, and a rivet gun, but seem to have a situation that comes up enough that I appear to be missing the correct tool.
What should one use when you have a lot of space looking at the rivet from the side, but very limited space when looking from either end.
In case that wasn't clear, imagine looking into a 12" pipe, and you need to set a rivet in the center of the pipe, but 6" inside the edge.
In my case, I was riveting the front seat anchor (F-814HPPX, DWG 76, Forward Seat Belt Attach.) in an RV-8. So I have lots of access from the side of the rivet (up), but very little on either side.
Bad rivets hear could end up giving me a lobotomy.![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
