I need to remove a few buck rivets to slip a piece of aluminum underneath in order for the water flow down past the bumper plate which is now been cut off. The Buck (Rivet) Stops Here: Patching GIANT HOLES in a Vintage Airstream. The HD blind rivets need either a pneumatic or a two-handled tool to set. Hello, I am in the process of permanently fixing a rear end bumper plate leak on a 2007 AS. A little long doesn't hurt, but too short and you may not form the "head" on the inside, as you pictured above, (The flat-looking heads) and if not, the connection may be weakĪs far as the blind rivets, you can use a standard Harbor Freight rivet tool in most cases.
