Riveting suspension Cups
I use countersunk alloy rivets, with the countersunk on the inside, bolt a suspension ball into the head of the recess and the rivet sticks up and make a ''snap'' to dome the little head over like a rivet top.
I think the aircraft industry uses this type of rivet, you can get them in various lengths and just trim to suit. The challenge is to find new cups.

I had a good day today . Because My wheels are away to have new tyres I sent away some parts to be sand blasted they came up real nice . Then I primed ready for green . Is $150 per hour normal for sand blasting these guys need a medal for doing that for a job .. Dale

Here are some photos of my lower hull ready for enamel in the morning . Do other carriers have this texture finish to their armor plate ? looks like wood grain .. Dale

Can some one tell me if this is the way to go ? The old leather seals are worn out with a 1 mm gap around them . I could only get modern seals is this the way to go ? also are these the correct way around

Dale, Does the 1mm gap indicate that there is excessive play in the bearings?
