What a beautiful sight!!

Post by Barrie2777 » Mon Jan 17, 2011 9:47 pm

These are the tracks for my newly finished 444. Stainless cleats and nickle plated rivets . I am preparing for the vintage races the weekend before Alliston.. I'm hoping for a sunny day so I can blind my competition with sun reflected off the cleats. I doubt if Ed will come and hook up the dual carbs for me.

Thought you might ask...Spaenaur RVT247 1/4" x 1-1/8" long. The rivetting worked great with the air gun and rivetting attachment. The most time spent was inserting the rivets with washers through the rubber. The rivets look soooo gooood not to mention all that stainless steel.

More of those stainless steel cleats are on order. Hope to have them prior to Alliston.

Tracks look wonderful Barrie!

were did you get the attachment for the rivets? Does it go in a air chisel to flare them out.

I make the end to rivet them. It fits in an air hammer. $15 if you want one, about $70 from Spaenaur, the company which sells the rivets.
