| Do it the old fashioned way.......... peen the heads of the rivets over with a small ball pein hammer.
Press the plate over the rivets and down to the correct position. Measure over the already made plates and press the plate down to this same dimension.
Tension the chain up tight, to stop it flapping about, and hold a small block of steel or such like against the back of the rivet to be riveted and then pein the head over with the ball of a hammer.
It'll take a bit of time and patience, but it'll do the job. Just make sure the heads are sufficiently riveted to hold the plate in place.
When you've done, tension the chain as normal and you'll be sorted. |
