Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Front Sling Rivet Question
Posted: 10/10/2003 7:18:07 PM EDT
Does anybody know of a tool or procedure to install the front sling swivel rivet? I would like to get the "factory-looking" swaged and rolled end. Punches and other such tools don't seem to do it.

Thanks

Use a brake/clutch lining rivet tool.  They are available through aviation tool supply outlets and are relatively inexpensive.

Thanks Russ.
I was wondering the same thing.
Mine just decided to wiggle free and I need to redo it.

Thanks, I checked some aircraft tool suppliers, and located several tools for around $20 that look like they will work perfectly.
