Bellhousing rivets
« on: April 16, 2019, 09:57:36 PM »
Has anyone come across a source for the rivets used for the pivot point that mounts a clutch fork  I have seen them before serviced by ford but that has been some time ago.

I assume that these rivets are pressed in, but how? Can this be done with a 20 press?
(The search engine is "letter selective". The correct spelling is "rivet". The other spelling should be tried as well. Thanks a lot for your attention.)

Jim I think they need to be heated and pressed they are pretty heavy at IIRC 5/16" its been some time since I did a set.

It was more of a "rhetorical" installation question. For some reason, all three of my C4 equipped Mustangs don't have one.  ;)

Air chisels are no substitute for a real rivet gun Like the Ingersoll-Rand  AVC12 or 13. People are having issues with rivets due to using the wrong tool. Just what others in the tool business say.

Why use a rivet at all? Just use the correct size "Flat Head Countersunk Socket Cap Screw" and fill in the hex.
