[QUOTE="Jacobm, post: 427408, member: 13910"] Johnny - Thanks for the input I was intending to use my air hammer to set the rivets. I was under the impression that the rivet set went on the head and the bucking bar went on the tail. Is it acceptable to make a bar as you suggested for the head and use my flat set in the air hammer for the tail? Seems plausible. On the second part, I may be misunderstanding. I'm only looking to plug old 1/8" rivet holes in the transom. it seems like there is enough thickness in the transom that I could just fill the hole and sand it down. I could be wrong. [/QUOTE]
