The plans below call for a 6-5 rivet though the kit only includes 6-6?s. My first attempt at setting this rivet was with the DDRT dimpler. The first rivet set went good, the second was a disaster. The plans call for using a C-frame, that might have helped had I owned one.
As I understand, this large rivet is only there to fill a hole and requires only enough squeezing ? to retain the rivet in the hole?.
I presume that to mean as long as the rivet doesn?t turn and doesn?t fall out it?s good to go.
Anyhow- is there an effective method to facilitate setting this large rivet without a c-frame?
In lieu of no other direction, My plan tomorrow is to put a slight squeeze on the rivet with my DDRT or tap it with a bucking gun and rivet set, if I have one large enough to fit this big honking rivet.
Thanks
