Ok Here is what I used for the bucking bar and rivet sets. I purchased the rivet Gun and the Sets off of Ebay (just search for rivet sets generally in the aircraft section) in two different auctions. The rivet sets I purchased came as a bunch of 27 pieces, but I only have been using 5 of them as the others are to small but was cheaper than buying them individually. The bucking bars I made up and added the extra weight to them as my dad was giving me a hand and he did not have the strength to hold the bar tight enough (he is 80 after all). I made one using a offset rivet set as drilling the end of a piece of steel and holding it in with a washer welded on so it would not fall out and the other piece was drilled and then shaped to what I wanted with a round grinding stone with a die grinder.
