Builder's Tips: Camloc installation

[GWright6970]

The firewall forward kit came with the rivets with the dimple in the head to be used on the cowling.

I bought my new "rivet squeezer" at Lowe's, and ground off the teeth on the pinchers! I am ready!

Thanks gents!

Eric the soft rivets are an426a an426s an470a an470s . the ad rivets are the hard ones . there are available channel lock plyers that have smooth jaws that work great for squeezing the soft rivets or a bucking bar in a vice using a hammer works also

Here's the ones I have. Google Knipex wrench for lots of info.

The jaws stay parallel as you close them which makes them perfect for this use. And they are great as an all purpose adjustable wrench!
