Installing factory-type rivets in A-arms
 

Looking to install rivets back in 69 Camaro A-arms (ball joints) as part of a resto...what is the best way to go about doing this? Is there a place that does this, preferably in the Midwest?
Thanks guys

Thanks Dennis. I have a jig that I can do them individually. Chris White has a jig that can do all four at the same time and because of that his are a little more uniform than mine. Though mine are nice I still need to come up with a better jig head to make the tops look more uniform. If you are not in a hurry I can help you but not until after November.

I used these when I did mine several years ago:

Realize they are not actual rivets but for what I have they are fine........no special tools either.

FWIW - if I knew at the time Rick did them I probably would have sent them to him!
