It is possible to buy aircraft rivet squeezers, but I could not make the =
one I borrowed fit the rivets at the bottom of the boot lid.  I used pop =
rivets, and filled the heads with epoxy paint until the pop hole was =
full.

The hand squeezer worked on the rivets fastening the bottom of the =
shroud to the boot floor.

Has anyone come up with a rivet squeezing attachment which will work on =
the 13 x 1/8" flat head rivets across the rear shroud rail at the bottom =
of the boot lid?=20

I have done these with a hammer, buck and punch in the past but would =
much prefer a squeezer for the job.
