Default Hot Rivetting

What a B****r of a job! And they are only 5/16 inch rivets holding the suspension hangers on a GP frame. Would not like to have to re-rivet a CMP chassis!

Seriously, I found the key to success was a good quality air hammer - the 'cheapie' I had purchased some time ago for chiseling scale and crud was not up to the job, so an Ingersol-Rand with a quick-change chuck was the answer. Works a treat.

Just have the front bumper to go ..... but as it's a hot day here, it's just ticked past beer-oclock. Tomorrow will do....

Mike
