I bought a setup from Bratton's when i did mine . Worked out well. RIVET UPSET TOOL. their part # 2700

A friend of mine made a new longer seat insert for my brake shoe rivit tool . Insert the rivit in the bumper, insert bumper onto new seat, set rivit tool on smooth concrete floor, have someone hold hood level with rivit thru hole in hood, strike rivit tool until bumper will not turn.

We have used this method on three finish painted hoods (29-31) and the results were show quality in my opinion.

If you lived near me I would gladly let you borrow the unit.
