Idiots guide to riveting

[KENAT]

Other than the obvious Machineries Handbook, anyone know of any good online guides to riveting?

An intern I'm not supervising is looking at riveting some clips to a 'base board' type part. Similar to what you see on the bottom of fridges etc.

I'm looking to give him some information, sadly his supervisor is electrical and I don't have time to help (plus my help may not be appreciated) and I've forgotten much of what little I used to know. (And I don't have the rivet catalogues anymore.)

I found the link immediately below and the you tube was posted a while back.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Pages 3213, 3217 (etc) have similar info.

Have you read faq731-376 to make the best use of Eng-Tips Forums?
