Members Treesner Posted August 2, 2018 Members Report Posted August 2, 2018 does anyone make a double cap rivet thats easy to set however with a flat front and solid non hollow top like the tops of copper rivets. I basically want the appearance of the copper rivet but don't need the extreme hold and slow install time. Quote
Rockoboy Posted August 12, 2018 Report Posted August 12, 2018 I don't think this is possible. The stem has to be tubular, as that is how the rivet is set. If you place your work on a hard, smooth and flat surface, when you set the double cap rivet, the end result will be a flat cap on the bottom side. Turn your work over and gently tap the other side of the double cap rivet on the hard surface and then you have a flat head double cap rivet.

Members brmax Posted August 15, 2018 Members Report Posted August 15, 2018 How about using some chicago screws, in the same way. Squared good day there Floyd Quote

The cap of the rivet and the stem of the rivet on the male side are 2 separate pieces. I had to destroy some rivets to disassemble an item recently, and this is what I found.

Cutting off one part of the edge is one way I use to remove them. The Chicago screws is the way I think. You can buy square ones from Chinese sellers on ebay Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

They are made from the high-grade brass material and designed for high-end products, a perfect combination of appearance and functionality.
