I just substituted the softer AN rivets, because I couldn't see where
the control forces demand the hard rivet. The enables use of a air
chisel from like Harbor Freight Tools, maybe $15, using lower pressure
regulated air. Bought the dimpled round-head rivet tool on a trip to
Oshkosh for a couple $$, or you could file & grind one up from the set
of chisels that comes with it. One good thing about cheap tools is
the steel can be rather soft. Just in case I'm wrong on strength
needed, especially where there's only 2 of them at a rod end, I
assembled them with the green structural glue.
