Kit Content

Just Picked up my Delux Kit a couple of weeks ago and I'm trying to figure out what all the nuts, bolts and pop rivets are for? Anyone out there know?

TIA

yup that sounds about right! a lazy tong style riveter best for floor rivets as they are tough little buggers!

Sounds about right to me as well, I also had bits left over that I think they threw in just in case. Useful for stuff like fixing brake t-pieces down etc.

Is a lazy tong one of those bit concertina type things I've seen in people's photos? I used a hand rivet gun that took a hell of a lot of squeezing, very painful!

It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care...
