[Healeys] Trunk/boot lip rivets

I have had success using a pair of Vicegrip  "C" pliers.
They have sufficient squeeze power to set those rivers but smacking the jaws with a hammer makes sure.
Best to use a small nut and bolt in the adjacent hole to pull the the parts together.

Hi Guys,

Has anyone come up with a way of installing the original solid rivets into the lip boot opening lip? The ones that you can't get anything up inside the chassis frame to buck the rivets.

I've seen some people using pop rivets and so on but I'd rather use the correct type if there is any way to tighten them up

Andy.
