I riveted on the cast fuel tank hold downs to the hull floor. I ended up using an air hammer and modified one of the punches. I cut the point off of the punch then ground it out into a dished shape. For a bucking bar I used a bottle jack with a 1/4" plate between the ram and the hull floor. It was very easy to do and I was very happy with the results.

Its not the best picture but this was the finished result.

Here is how the jack was setup. It held all 4 rivets in place while I hit them from the inside.

Lastly are a few pictures of the No2 cooker and pot/pan installed, the carrier fuel funnel in place and with a 2 gallon petrol tin.
