However, if you're going to make a habit of doing riveted repairs, it
really pays to get a few simple tools to drive solid rivets. I've done
plenty of MS20470AD and MS20426AD rivets with a hammer and a drift,
and maybe a set clamped in the jaws of a vise.

Thanks, Bob K.

Bob - thanks for your reasoned response. I'd like to hear more about
how you lined the drift along the rivet axis so that you got a
symetrical mushroom head - Mike
