Anyone in Cork have a rivet gun/hand riveter?

Postby sifpilsen » Thu, 31 Jan 2013 7:36 +0000

Just got my new soft top in, and need to drill out and replace some of the rivets to connect the softtop and new cables to the skeleton. Is there anyone in Cork or within driving distance that has one to borrow me for a couple of days?

Just wanted to check here as I will not need this after the job is done.
