Setting solid rivets
 
Any suggestions on setting solid rivets? I have approx a dozen to drill out
and set, I have no compressor

1) Rent a compressor and air tool
2) Use a hammer, rivet set and bucking bar
3) Use aviation rated pull rivets and suitable pop rivet gun

be the besat option, I set thousands before when I used to work at
Multi-Vans building transport bodies so I might as well do it right lol :-)
