My seat track across the back of my boat is popping up. All the rivets are coming out. Need to take to someone and get them to pop some new ones in. Anybody?

If you were any closer I'd say come on. If you can find an air powered one it will take you a couple of minutes to put down a seat track.

you can buy one at lowes for a little of nothing. you may not use it but maybe once a year but they are sure handy to have when you do need it.

that's a basic rivet gun and forgot to mention, if your doing stainless steel rivets, then you'd need one of the pneumatic rivet guns.
most rivets go by the diameter of the rivet itself and not the head.

Stainless would probably be better but the originals aren't.

I've got one you can use and I think I live a couple of miles from you. Send me a pm with your number and I'll call.
