turning out to be a very imformative thread is this ! i think phill hit the nail/rivet
 on the head when he said it's a dark art. something that i think many of us would like to be able to do but have no experience of even seeing it being done, which is why i think we all owe richie a debt of gratitude for volunteering to show us how the experts do it.  cheers rick

Well.......... for those in the UK who want to have a bash...or those overseas who want to travel
 i am happy to ply anyone with tea/cakes/bacon sarnies for their attendance we can all have a bash and fettle it.... really from my readings one person should man the forge / insert the rivet, one man to block and one man to peen...anyone is welcome would think it would take a couple of days to rivet front sides and rear.

Regarding removing rivets, shuans 100% right about using oxy. I was a little nervous about it until I saw it in action.
It probably does take a little practice but there can't be a more effective way of getting them out. I've shot blasted the panels we did and that gets rid of any splatter from the melted rivets. We should have videoed doing it so we could post the link, next time perhaps. Ben
