Rivets
One of the rivets have come loose on my Viper and fallen in the casing...
All the rivets on the slip on end have actually become so loose the end swivals round slightly...and some of the exhaust gases are leaking on to my swinging arm and causing black marks.  Anyone know what I can do apart from get a rivetting tool? ?? Help... please. |

Other than get a rivetter?
No. Get a a riveting tool, and steel rivets, don't use aluminium they'll disappear in minutes.

Any rivetter that costs a fiver will have loads of aluminium rivets with it.
You need steel, aluminium won't last any time at all.

Also you would need to check for the type of rivet you are using as you can get rivets where the centre stem falls out once rivetted in place leaving a hole through the middle of the rivet
 , so you need to get the ones where the centre stem seals the middle, thus stopping the exhaust gases escaping.
