I donâ??t know or recall what kind of rivets were originally used on the
Healeys, but it sounds like you are trying to avoid having to 'buck'
traditional rivets to make the shop head. If so, and you want pulled rivets
that have no hole left after the mandrel is pulled out - then maybe you want to
look into "Closed-End Blind Rivets"....
If you want to have traditional rivets, you can find the local Experimental
Aircraft Association (EAA) chapter near you. Most likely there will be person
or persons who are or have built aircraft requiring bucking lots and lots of
rivets - and who would most likely be happy to take the 20 minutes to do yours!

Subject: [Healeys] Rear shroud rivets
Getting ready to install the rivets in the rear shroud. Is there a â??modernâ??
alternative to the peened factory rivets?
Or a modern way to peen the rivets by hand? I assume the factory had a special
tool for this purpose.
