Many years ago Mantua/Tyco used to include, in some of their loco kits, a riveting tool for spreading the rivets when assembling the valve gear assemblies. I, at one time, had one and now can't find it. Does anyone know if they are still available anyplace? I have been googling all morning and can't seem to put together the right combination of words to get the search results I want.
Failing being able to get the tool, how do you guys spread your rivets? I have some ideas (file a finishing nail to the proper point) but would like some other ideas.
Thanks
Alex

| Wouldn't you know it, as soon as I posted this I went back to my google search results and found that Bowser makes a Riveting Tool. It costs $2 and they want $10 to ship it. Now I am not cheap but I am frugal and this seems a little over the top to me.
