I have installed stainless hame nails and copper rivets before, but never brass. Any tips on avoiding damaging the heads? Thanks for any ideas!

The usual procedure is to drill a hole in your anvil the same shape and size as the rivet head.

Then place the head of the rivet into the hole and peen as usual.
