Tom M 71 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Joe, The pop rivets that I used are 3/16" diameter (5mm) x 1/8" long (3mm). Stephano, A good IPA always makes wrenching a little less stressfull . Harpoon is good stuff but I have a new favorite... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stephano, A good IPA always makes wrenching a little less stressfull . Harpoon is good stuff but I have a new favorite... I'm drinking coffee today. I have never drank alcohol, but wrenching on the Guzzi sometimes has me changing my mind about the decision not to drink. Thanks for the rivet size! I'll likely be on that tomorrow. I actually might use a Subaru driveshaft (2.5 inch diameter) as my tube to mold the sleeve back to shape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GuzziMoto 309 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Aluminum rivets work fine but may not last. Sometimes vibration causes them to break. I prefer to use stainless rivets from my local boat store. They are a bit pricey, but if it is something you are not likely to be undoing/re-doing any time soon I find the stainless rivets last much longer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NicoNZ 44 Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Ooh nice thread. Just purchased some TI cans with a couple of small dings. Now to find some PVC pipe and more importantly some IPA. The dents are removed more easily with some throat lubricant I take it! 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
