They were long enough to make a smooshed mess resembling a button. I just staggered them so I got one button on each side.

how about if i cut just a little off the end of my long rivet, crushed it flush, then crushed a short rivet into the hole too? i wonder if it would stay or not?

Make a divot that looks like a rivet head in a small piece of steel. For this one I used a 1/4" ball end mill to make the divot. I then squished it with my 6 ton A-frame press.

I modified a punch for my air hammer, and used that to form the rounded heads on my long rivets.

I've been curious about this too, until yesterday when my brothergot his krink kit that neverbeen assembled with the rivets and everything, well i took the extra rivet i had left for the rear trunion and the one for his rear trunion and the one that came with the kit was larger in diameter adn a little longer. I was before buying the 23 peice rivet set from global trades, but am going to look around at a few more options now. Anyone know which oneswork well andwhich ones don't?

when i did mine yesterday it only flattened the rivet a little for the rear rivets. so i got two stubs and two heads on the other side (i actualy like it that way tho) but i think the tapco rivets are to small and the rivet mostly buckles inside and fills the counter sinks. no way in hell they will move out but if i got it to form a small head ill be happy. damn rivets are harder then i thoguht :)
