Riveting and rivet gun
Trying to make this job as painless as possible. Is an air gun best? what size rivets and where to get them. I'm being lazy I know but I'm getting tired of difficult jobs and decisions.

I did all my rivets by hand, but my knuckles havent stopped aching for over a month now. :P
I also got a cheap ebay rivnut tool and its all bent out of shape now so I wish I had got a decent one. It would never have been able to do M8s as it claimed unless they were made from thorntons toffee. Cheers Stot

Yes get an air riveter you'll regret it if you don't! But you'll probably need a cheapo hand one for tight spots. I used 4.0x8mm aluminium rivets for the panels and pu adhesive, they won't be going anywhere in a hurry!
 For rivnuts I can't recommend Memfast highly enough, a great tool and good prices on the actual nuts, not a bad website too.  HTH
