Some time ago on this site someone was enquiring where a tool for setting the semi tubular rivits for clutch lining could be obtained. Having the need to reline the clutch on my Ruby I spent some time trying to locate such a tool. All I could find were large expensive presses. To expensive to buy to do just one job.IE one Austin 7 clutch. I did however find a small inexpensive tool used for 3/16 - 5mm leather eylets. This used in conjunction with the end of a peice of round bar the same diameter as the rivethead clasped in a vice and used as an anvil did the job. Although not used on brake linings I think it would also do the job. This tool is available at many leather craft suppliers.
