Hi,
Can someone enlighten me to the tool used in the diagram to fit the rear light guards on my p38 in the picture it looks like a pop rivet gun, but these things there are eight of them i have to use looks like i drill a 7mm hole and push these in and i think used the same method as pop riveting but it looks like i do not have this tool what do i need to buy to use these small rivet looking things,,,,thanks for any help

Ye don't need a 'special tool' as they look like rivnuts or nutserts. All ye need is a bolt that fits, two nuts (one drilled out so it spins freely) and a washer.
Ah've saved ye the search on this one (but a handy button tae use). If ye read in this link ye'll see..

Just fitted a front & rear set to my P38, you need a 'Thread Setter Tool, looks like a rivit tool, If you buy a kit you should get 4 different size mandels, Klick Rivit nuts & Poly Nuts.
With the template it took me about 3 hours, you have to take the rad grille off for the front ones. Rear ones are easy. You need to use a 1ml size drill bigger that the rivet nuts. Enjoy
