I am working on reattaching my cladding. I have the plastic rivets from autofastco but have not found a rivet gun that works with these type of rivets. Does anybody have a source for a gun they have used with these plastic rivets? TIA

thanks for the replies guys. i'm assuming that a tool like the one pictured in the other thread will work with at least the sizes of rivets I need for the cladding or does it have those replacable tips that only allow certain size rivets to be used?

I gave up on mine trying to use plastic. Doesnt work so well unless you can get a hand behind the rivet to hold em.

Thanks, but I mean I want one today. All I need is my cladding attached and my truck is complete! I think I found one local!

I wound up getting one from the matco guy, it was like 35 or so. Worked perfect.
