[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 418294, member: 9169"] Since you have the floor out and access to both side of the solid rivets I would replace the leaky ones instead of just re-bucking them. You can get a cheap air hammer from harbor freight and a rivet setting tool for about $20 total. You'll be surprised how much you will end up using it throughout your modifications. At least I was. Here is the air hammer I use to set my solid rivets. $10. https://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools/hammers/air-impact-hammer-kit-92037.html The style of rivets will determine which rivet tool you need. Mine are brazier head, so this is what I needed. https://cdn.opentip.com/Tools-Home-Improvement/Ajax-Tools-Mod-Brazier-Rivet-Set-p-3593877.html?gclid=CJmi8LyLh84CFUUmhgodiI4JYw [/QUOTE]
