Attaching bells that have a hole at the base

[jjb2016]

HI all. I purchased some bells that have the hole at the base for rivets instead of the loop for making some door bells.

The site I ourchased from (Classic Bells) says the take blind rivets or sheet metal screws.

Does anyione know of a good tutorial with visuals showing how to attach this tyoe of bell?

Thanks.

Specifically I have these bells: Classic Bells: Product details

From the website description . . . piece of cake.

Lay out on the backside of the strap . . . holes that are 5/32 in diameter . . . the size of your bell plus 1/4 inch apart.  

If you have 1 1/2 inch bells . . . holes need to be spaced 1 3/4 inch apart.

Use a pop rivet gun (sold at any half decent hardware store) to shove the rivet thru the backside of the strap . . . then into the back of the bell . . . pull the handlel on the gun until it breaks the rivet stem . . . and it is a done thing.  Watch this little video if you've never used a pop rivet gun.

May God bless,
