Does any member in the East Midlands have a brake rivet press suitable for use on an Austin Seven who is willing to allow me the use of to reline 4 shoes. I have purchased a single punch with a view to doing the job myself but now realise because of the make up of the shoes this will not work because I cannot get the punch straight on the rivet.  Your tool will not have to leave your place as the work will be done there. It should not take long to do 16 rivets.

Yours John Mason.

If you are unable to locate a suitable tool near you I am happy to rivet the shoes for you, FOC, if you post them up to me.

I modified my riveting punch to sit square on the rivet by grinding a bit off to miss the brake shoe web
