Rick--The rivets come in various sizes-- I have a few, don't know how many or if any are "extra"-- Does anybody know how they fastened the inside portion of the rivit inside of the head tube? Little tiny hammer-- small elf? Thanks-- Nelson Miller in Seattle

Tom, et al:

I think you can use pop rivets as long as you flatten them inside the head tube so they don't contact the steerer tube

If any one has a source for brass rivets, please contact me so I can reinstall the head badge on my Raleigh.

Thanks,
