I use a hand rivet tool that I got from Harbor Freight, very inexpensive. Mike 
Everett was the guy who turned me on to pop rivets. Everybody who works on old 
cars or any sheet metal should have one.

  They are a very small peened rivet. I don't think a regular rivet gun will 
work. I will check my Bentley manual and see what it says.

      Are you talking about the windwing latch? If so the only kind I have seen 
is installed by taking out the windwing glass and that latch is connected by 
rivets, You drill out the old rivets and throw away the broken one, place the 
new one in, shoot two rivets in there and replace the glass. Were they ever 
held by set screws? I don't know.

        So I got the blinker and lights back to norm but I was going to replace 
that latch for the little window in the front that wing window that swivels but 
I don't have the right alen wrench for it is that a special tool or do I just 
need to expand my set? Anyone coming to the party have the right size wrench 
for it? Much thanks and hope things are well...
