jjb2016 Report post Posted July 3, 2021 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted July 3, 2021 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, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
