I would be interested in the solid rivets and c-clamp tool. Please let me know how much.

I would be interested in the solid rivets and c-clamp tool. Please let me know how much.

The rivets used were tubular, solid would take a lot of hammering.

Not selling. Was gonna loan it to a local caber.

Sorry, You are correct. I was talking about the flat fender brackets with the ends solid riveted to a flat metal piece that attaches to the axel.

I have a Hanson rivet squeezer and rivets in a box.... For that factory look. Pm me for those interested.

Look up rivet squeezer on eBay.. You can get a used one for a reasonable price..

Just make sure you make those rivets look right before putting them on an original. Hansen actually puts a pretty tough finish on them, I put them in the chuck of my drill one by one and remove that finish with some fine grit paper/emery cloth then soak them in salty peroxide until properly seasoned. A WD40 bath afterwards turns the oxidation brown/black.

Rivet screws are pretty handy for something that you don’t see when it’s installed..

Do you have a pic or a name of it?? Thanks, I just rolled that blue fender I got from you, it looks great! View attachment 927083

We bought the tool from Brian Heckel I believe his name is. His eBay name is oldbikes. It was very affordable, and he has the rivets too. The fender is looking good!!
