[Healeys] Rivet squeezer

[Ian Hey]

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? 

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