Can anyone tell me how to replace the rivets on the rear wheels of a Regular. Is there a tool that can be used to round off the head of the rivet?

Phil, If you already have the rivets ,well that would be the hard part for me, you have the tire off, need to have something on the side of the rim that the manufactured head of the rivet is on , like a big anvil,ok?(who can hold an anvil up in the air for that long?) we did a smaller wheel last year, used a tractor stand(when you split a tractor)welded on a little angling tang for the rivet to rest on,an assistant with a sledge hammer might work.... then heated up the shop end of the rivet, and while cherry red flattened it with a homemade rivet set ,and you can make one from a large diameter bolt, with a drilled hole in the end of it , just enough to make a little dome in the tip(use a pair of vise-grips to hold the rivet set to retain your assistant's fingers for future procedures), so when you set it on the cherry red hot rivet and hammer(for old glory) it leaves it nice and round and smooth, if then it's not flat enough (like our experience), heat it some more and finish it with a ballpeen hammer and smooth it with a grinder:)
