Hi,
I have a fair Indiana Jones Machine, on the ramps and a couple of the
plastics I have found nice round head rivets.

What sort of tools are available to put these in myself? The light
jackpot plastic uses three of these rivets and I want to replace the
thing but I also want to the game looking original (not using screws
where rivets once were).

So, if anyone knows of a tool to put in those round headed rivets I'd
appreciate a link or something.

Thanks in advance,

Keith.

WOW! That www.pinrestore.com is a great site. I don't think I can
justify the custom press rivetor he made but the hand tools are exactly
what I need.

The rest of the site is pretty awesome too. A great help, thanks.
