WTB rivet squeezers, cleco pins and clamps
Hi Everyone.
I have a sheet metal project coming up thats going to need a lot of fiddly clamping and countersunk rivets.
If anyone happened to have anything lying around along these lines im happy to pay well.
Regards all

I bought a few of these locally a few years back from an aircraft supplies mob as my skinpins were getting a little elderly(like moi).
A quick look on google and Metal Man Tools appears to stock same as I bought available online.

I have some you could borrow, but I'd want them back in a month or so.

Hi Ralph, how many Cleco pins would you be looking for? Asking as I've about 20 and only use about 8 at any one time. I can send them over with a tool for you to copy if you can't get one. Mine are the 3/16" ones, I've added a link to someone that sells the pliers, plus 1/8" and 3/16' for just under $60 for 10 of each size.

I reckon I've some pop rivet pliers around as well if you want them?

What size rivets do you want? And how many do you want? I bought several kilos of them in from Aircraft Spruce when the dollar was over parity, I can probably help with a few.
I have a pneumatic C frame squeezer that needs a frame and inlet connection I would be willing to rehome. I can supply measurements for the inlet connector off an identical body. I could also make a frame and connector if you aren’t equipped to do so.
PM if there’s anything I can help with.

Hi Ralph,
Depending on how many and what size - I've got surplus pins and pliers.
I also have a microstop countersink cage and countersinks that you could borrow, along with rivet guns/snaps/dollies and a pneumatic head shaver.

Thanks everyone.
The 1/8 size would be 80% followed by 3/16 of what I want to do. Id prefer a fully manual squeezer because i want to take it in to tafe with me a fair bit. (Doing a sheet metal night course) Steve ill send you a PM in a sec.
