Hello all,
I have a Freddy that needs the plastic ramp replaced on the playfiield. I have the Ramp, and I have the Rivets, but I'm worried about breaking the ramp before I get the rivets flattened enough to be tight.
So I thought I would ask the sages of the groups to see how you guys install your new ramps and how you get the rivets tight without breaking the plastics. I'm interested in knowing what tools are out there, how to hints, and even youtube vids showing how. Maybe my google voodoo is on the fritz but I just couldn't find much with the exception of this tool from marco.

And honestly, I don't see how this would be much help. Looks like I could make this out of a piece of 1/2" steel with a decent drillbit to make the indentions. Maybe your supposed to lock it down in a vice and hammer the rivet from the back. So any advice would be greatly appreciated.
