				Hi Phill& list,
 
 I don't recall where I picked up the idea for riveting in tight spots, but 
 I made a small attachment for my rivet tool that works slick for tight corners.
 
 It's just a cylindrical piece of metal 3/8 inch in diameter about 3/8 of an 
 inch long with one end beveled at 30 degrees. Dimple the square cut  end 
 like the nose piece of your riveter and drill a hole for rivet stems 
 through the center of it. Slip the thing over the rivet stem before you 
 pull it and you will be able to position your puller at an angle and still 
 get a straight pull on the rivet.
 
 Have fun!!
