[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 230262, member: 6657"] Being able to do the job by myself when I need it done instead of having to wait for someone to find the time to come help me is a huge benefit to me. ... btw, you need to make sure that those rivets you'll be getting for free are the correct length and diameter. Those are the 2 most important things to know when installing rivets... what length and diameter do I need. This site will help you with that. https://www.rivetsonline.com/additional-information/solid-rivet-lengths-for-various-grips.html They're also the place that I order my blind rivets and tools from. Rebucking rivets is only a temporary fix, the leaking rivet has already been weakened and will eventually leak again... and if you're going to take the time and effort to rebuck a rivet, it only takes a minute longer to go ahead and drill the rivet out and replace it.
