well i said i would post up after trying a few rivets... my pal Kris came down tonight and and we set three... the first one...for reasons beyond me i thought my setting length was too long (dispite the rivets being cut to length at source) so chopped 5mm off.... results were... too bloody short ! second rivet (the one in the middle) i left alone and it set perfect ! third rivet (to the left of the good rivet next to the centre bulkhead) i got 3/4 set then my compressor blew a valve or something and dumped 75ltrs of air in about 10 seconds flat (and i filled my pants) so did not get it to set fully... all be it its there or there abouts. i found the trick is to get the rivet heated until it is just about to sparkle them wham it home.
  so order of the day is to service my compressor (or whats left of it) and i can get cracking
