bumper absorber alumninum rivets

Saleen0101 · April 24th, 2009, 09:31 PM

I had a friend repaint my front bumper cover, while it was off the car , he leaned on the bumper absorber(syrofoam) and torn that off the bumper. I had to rip off the old rivets and order new ones from ford. How the heck do you install these rivets? One end looks like it has a nail and just wondering if anyone knows how these work? I dont have a rivet gun and hope you can do it by hand. Thanks for any help

yeah, you can find a rivet gun from anywhere. you just have to make sure that it has the size for it though as the nail portion you are talking about comes in different sizes.
