Before I stop at AutoZone on the way home from work tonight, I thought I'd ask here and possibly save me a stop. The stupid garage door came down on my front plate mount and popped it off effortlessly. I wish I could just toss the front plate I have a pop rivet tool. I'm operating under the assumption that the back side of the bumper cover on an '03 is not accessable at that location. You can get the correct rivets from Ford but do note that due to their large size, they won't fit a common pop rivet gun.

A rivet gun is an integral part of installing rivets. Rivets are a useful fastener that is designed to hold two materials together, for example two sheets of metal. The mandrel goes through the inside of the hat, getting pulled during the installation. During this pulling process, the mandrel deforms the back of the hat before snapping, leaving a clean, finished application. There are a number of varieties of rivet gun available, including a hand rivet gun, lever riveter, battery powered riveting tools and pnuematic rivet guns. Hand powered rivet guns work with a simple lever and require manual squeezing from an operator. This style of rivet gun comes with several nose piece options to fit a range of blind rivets. When used repeatedly, it can be very stressful on the hands, wrists and forearms, which makes it a better option for smaller projects. The next step up from hand rivet guns are lever riveting tools which are able to work with a wider range of sizes.

Rivet-setting pressures are high. This axial force must be applied to the rivet in order to mushroom the shop head concentrically. Any nonaxial force vector will tend to bend rather than expand the rivet. Next, the individual material pieces need to be firmly clamped together during this setting process so that no intermediate space allows the rivet to swell between the materials. Finally, the components cannot be allowed to move relative to each other during the setting, or the rivet or the forces applied to the rivet will tend to deform the material and not the rivet. Two riveting procedures have evolved.

You had to be King Kong to do it but it worked for the few rivets I had to pop and the gun survived. Send a PM. The nosepiece has to be the right length to set the jaws and any approximation of the right size hole will work. Need help with hand rivet gun - need larger nose piece. I have little doubt that it will be a problem. I agree to receive emails from the site. ChrisLS8 Well-known member. Copyright by Crownvic. I looked at the chart, and I looked at metric charts, too.

Driving larger rivets is hard for folks with smaller hands. The Marson is for people with huge hands so I mostly use the Swingline. Switch to Threaded Mode. Buy a half way decent pop rivet gun and new rivets and be done with it. Well I've had an Emhart K for years I don't think you can get one still and has always done the job for me but recently I had the Tekton to sell, it's pretty decent and slightly larger than my old one and a better handle configuration. I think before I purchase anything I'll place a call to Yoshimura and see what they say.
