Hi Blair,

Just order them off Pinbits, they only charge actual shipping and paypal is cool.

I have dealt with Pam and Martin a number of times now, and cannot be happier with there products and service.

Cheers Angelo

dont forget you will need the special tool to install the rivets.

I have got a set of these, haven't used it yet but I was getting other bits and pieces and threw it in to make use of the shipping.

The set comes with the tool to press them, I have seen these used and they seemed OK and a pretty good option.

Agree that Pibits are a very good mob to deal with and would recommend them to anyone.

It isn't a press as such, jut a cheaper and easier way to replace ramp flaps and the like.

Cheers.

interesting
but i will be using a press to do mine

The die kit cost me $55 and the press $100

The die kit included the dies + all the parts you need and instructions to convert a standard half or 1 ton arbour press into a precision  rivet press
I just need to do the simple mods to the press so it will take the dies.

if you want to buy the head and roll over die they will cost you $18.50 us each + postage
if you want the kit its worth $55 us + plus postage
this is the link http://www.pinrestore.com/Riveting.html
just scroll down till you find what you want

you can buy the press in australia for $99 and there is a shop in most capital cities ( you can buy it from pinrestore but the shipping cost would be quite high because of the weight
here is the aussie linkhttps://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Products?stockCode=P118

if you just want to buy the rollover and head die then buy the rest of the parts from australia just pm me and i can email you the instructions and parts list to make this press.

I have one of the pinrestore presses Beaky mentions and it's great.

The pinbits pressless rivets work great on ramp flaps, but situations where you need a more solid crimp, like switch stacks, the pinrestore press is a must have.
