The Eastwood Company has always been about providing the tools, parts, and pieces necessary for home builders and DIY enthusiasts to get out in their shop and create cool stuff with their own hands. The company continues to release a dizzying array of products that encourage just that and this new Solid Rivet kit is further proof. Designed to be used as both a panel joining method and for dress-up/decorative purposes, the kit uses aircraft quality rivets and the kit has all the stuff you need to get off and running. You’ll be riveting like the famed “Rosie” from WWII in no time!
HERE’S THE SCOOP FROM EASTWOOD –
The Eastwood Company has launched a DIY Solid Rivet Kit for auto enthusiasts. The kit is used to structurally join panels and provide a decorative-look, which is popular on underhood panels, on interior panels and bomber-style seats, and countless other automotive applications.
The Solid Rivet Kit includes all of the components required to drive AN470 (round head) rivets in both 1/8 and 3/16 inch diameter. “These are the same rivets used on aircraft and high performance race vehicles,” said Nick Capinski, Eastwood Content Manager. “This kit contains everything needed to make solid, structural joints, and is a fraction of the cost of trying to piece together the tools needed”.
The kit includes a professional pneumatic rivet gun, 1/8 inch and 3/16 inch rivet sets for round head rivets, universal bucking bar, 1/8 inch and 3/16 inch Cleco kit and 1/4lb of 1/8 inch and 3/16 inch rivets in 3/16″ and 5/16″ length.

Founded in 1978, Eastwood strives to develop new products to serve the home automotive hobbyist, as well as individuals and organizations focused on the restoration and customization of automobiles and motorcycles.
