Autozone rivet gun

Before I stop at AutoZone on the way home from work tonight, I thought I'd ask here and possibly save me a stop. The stupid garage door came down on my front plate mount and popped it off effortlessly. I wish I could just toss the front plate I have a pop rivet tool. I'm operating under the assumption that the back side of the bumper cover on an '03 is not accessable at that location. You can get the correct rivets from Ford but do note that due to their large size, they won't fit a common pop rivet gun. I thought about using that if I ever put my license bracket back on. BTW- are there some kind of plugs out there to cover these two nice holes I have in my front bumper since removing the bracket? Isn't the actual bumper-beam back there?

I haven't used the nut-sert type rivets much, but they definitetly have a place. All times are GMT

A rivet gun is an integral part of installing rivets. Rivets are a useful fastener that is designed to hold two materials together, for example two sheets of metal. The mandrel goes through the inside of the hat, getting pulled during the installation. During this pulling process, the mandrel deforms the back of the hat before snapping, leaving a clean, finished application. There are a number of varieties of rivet gun available, including a hand rivet gun, lever riveter, battery powered riveting tools and pnuematic rivet guns. Hand powered rivet guns work with a simple lever and require manual squeezing from an operator. This style of rivet gun comes with several nose piece options to fit a range of blind rivets. When used repeatedly, it can be very stressful on the hands, wrists and forearms, which makes it a better option for smaller projects.

Rivet-setting pressures are high. This axial force must be applied to the rivet in order to mushroom the shop head concentrically. Any nonaxial force vector will tend to bend rather than expand the rivet. Next, the individual material pieces need to be firmly clamped together during this setting process so that no intermediate space allows the rivet to swell between the materials. Finally, the components cannot be allowed to move relative to each other during the setting, or the rivet or the forces applied to the rivet will tend to deform the material and not the rivet. Two riveting procedures have evolved. The rivet squeezer is a compression type of tool that applies a continuous axial force to the rivet, deforming the shop head. The rivet gun is an impact type of a tool that provides repeated axial impact forces think hammer to deform and set the rivet.

How do I remove these plastic rivets? The price has jumped up quite a bit since they came out. The other side took me all of 10 minutes! Last edited by 1 slow 97; at PM. I say do that.

You can get the correct rivets from Ford but do note that due to their large size, they won't fit a common pop rivet gun. A few years back I had to put in a ton of heavy steel rivets to replace the bin bottom in a combine. I have little doubt that it will be a problem. I thought about using that if I ever put my license bracket back on. Thread Tools Show Printable Version. Take a thin blade screwdriver and get between the center pin head and the base.
