Setting rivets
 
Any suggestions on setting solid rivets I need to replace a few? I have
approx a dozen to drill out
and set, I have no compressor or riveting tools besides a regular rivet gun

Why do you need to "reset" the rivest? Are they loose, missing?

If you have to replace them, have a pro do it. It's not going to cost
you a bundle.

I am not going to reset them there is a few that the heads are almost rubbed
off and I would like to replace them :-)
But it looks like locally it cost a whole $1.50 ea to have them installed
lol
