Titanium7 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Need to fit a lowered floor and wondered if anyone has used this type of pneumatic riveter before, are they up to the job of putting in the steel rivets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mankee Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 When I fitted a new passenger floor, I just used a hand riveter. I struggled to hold a pint afterwards though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Deslandes Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I used one somewhat like that a few years ago, about £30 off fleebay as I recall. Brilliant for the job, which would have been a lot harder without it. Makes quite a bang when it goes off too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klunk Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I've fitted several normal/lowered floors using one of these and have had no problems with steel rivets. I certainly wouldn't recommend doing it by hand! Giles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregs79 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I used one last year on my build! Fantastic bits of kit and only wish I'd found it earlier on in the build. A must in my opinion for fitting a lowered floor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMorris Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 THey are fine - I have done 4 floors + large amounts of re-panellng a car with one + lent out to various people. Still going strong. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
