installing front fender rivits

[amf 71flh]

anyone know where I can get the tool to install the original rivits on the front fender of my 76 XLCH? Salty?

There are several makers of rivet tools.  Sears has them and v-twin has them listed #16-0709.

I must have read your post wrong!  I could have sworn you asked for the tool to install the original rivits..

No, you did not read it wrong. But the more research I do points to using an industrial rivet press to do the job right, if not the rivets will come loose, cracking the paint. Still waiting for salty to tell me if I have the correct e-bay item number. Thanks for your advice, I value everyones imput on this site...

Use on HOT rivit first pass , finish after rivit has cooled to tighten it up.
