Re: Rivet tool
Ben,
I guess you are referring to the "mole grip" type riveting tool?
I have one you may borrow.

Hi Kieth thanks for the offer, I've been able to use Dave, I'm on the look out for get a permanent one Dave is going to get a set of casting for the jaws when he gets time.
I will be needing one then as Dave and I are working on a new van kit .
Watch out at Shildon for first example, maybe two.

Now that’s interesting.
I have always fancied building a van. It might be just what I need to get me back in the swing of GL5.
Keep me in mind.

Re: Rivet tool
Hi Ben,
Stumbled over this as I'm looking at rivet tools for putting a couple of the Modelworks 16t minerals together, hopefully with some improvements to the running gear.
Did anything come of the van project/ is it still in the planning stages? Do keep us posted, if a couple of other guys are building them at the same time then that would be a good introduction to "proper" wagon building for me as I can do the online equivalent of peering over your shoulder to see how it's done!
Re: Rivet tool
I asked a while ago about rivet tools .
I've just had from Dave Noble a kit of parts it requires some machining but looks good
Dave says he has 3 more kits in had so if you want one give Dave a call.
If attached my kit which I have part machined .
Thanks Dave great asset.
