Two mounting methods:

Either with a setting tool for T28 peened rivets, such as model ref. 8110-00:
- Make a 3 mm diameter hole in the parts to be assembled. Pass the rivet through the inside of your parts. Thread the washer, then tighten it with the setting tool. Cut off the excess with pliers, leaving about 2 mm of material. Start peening using the concave part of the setting tool. Finish the assembly by peening the shank onto the washer with a hammer.
- The peening operation must be performed on a firm workbench; you can place an Ertalon plate to protect your support and the rivet head.
-> We recommend watching the video to learn how to install a peened rivet.

Or with the manual press 3960-00 and a setting die for T28 peened rivets (ref. 3984_00):
- Using a round punch, make a 3 mm hole in your leather.
- Insert part L into the lower part of the press.
- Insert part U-1 into the upper part of the press. Place the rivet head on part L, thread the leather, then the washer. Press the lever of the press to tighten the rivet with the washer.
- Using wire cutters, cut off the excess shank, leaving about 2 mm.
- Insert part U-2 in place of part U-1. Press the lever of the press to peen the shank onto the washer.
