'32 Ford frame rivets

I've built a jig from an original '32 frame to assemble reproduction frames using original crossmembers and repro rails. I want to rivet it just like the original. I've compared Model-A and '32 rivet size and have found the '32s are bigger. Anyone know who supplies rivets and the rivet setting tools for '32 frames?

got any pics of Installing the rivets on the front crossmember? Curios how yout bucking aroung the lower lip of the frame up to the bottom of the crossmember

 

I was hoping I can buy a tool for that from the rivet suppliers. If not I'll have to make one.

Here's pictures of my jig:

Do some searching on Fordbarn Model A on riveting...seek out posts by Marco. He did a good writeup with pictures, and covers odd shaped bucking bars for unreachable areas.

 

This advanced search in Fordbarn Model A will give a start: There is a bunch more in there somewhere...

awesome!

 

Hey, are those rivets shot "hot" or at room temp?

 

I saved this article a while back just in case I ever had a reason to try it.
Think if I did this right you can click on the pages to supersize them....

Thanks
