[QUOTE="Rat, post: 149960, member: 1914"] A rivet, when new, looks like a mushroom. The mushroom head is called the factory head and the smooth cylinder end (the end you place in the drilled hole) is the Buck-tail. Bucking is deforming metal, you use a bucking bar and a hammer to deform to a particular shape, or you can use just a hammer. You also will need a type of rivet-set behind (backing up) the factory head of the rivet. A rivet set has the right type of depression in it to fit the factory head perfectly so no other deforming takes place; most times we just use another hammer as the rivet-set. So, basically re-bucking is what we need to do to re-set old rivets that are leaking. [/QUOTE]
