Side Exhaust cover rivets
I’m installing new Side Exhaust covers on my 67.
The front brackets have to be riveted to the cover.
I looked at the rivets and they have a shaft that is thicker than both of my rivet guns.
Is there a larger rivet gun or is there another trick to installing them?

Insert the rivet in the bracket and cover,place a heavy hammer head over the read of the rivet and tap the shaft of the rivet with another hammer-gently and repeatedly until it smushes nicely.
