Hi Everyone, I am getting kinda bummed all this time fabricating parts then destroy them trying to buck rivets is a big waste of time
I am having problems bucking the rivets in the c channel The bars I have don't fit so I have had to use a little piece of tungsten but that flips the bus end every time because I can't hold it
what are you using?? Thanks, John
A very common bucking bar would the "foot bar". It works fine on most C and U channels unless the "legs" of the channel are longer than the foot of the bar. something like this Bucking Bar (670)

Or the wife drops an 1inch and a half piece of common flat stock into the channel, sets a 4lb maul against the outside of the interior channel, holds it with her foot while you sit on a bucket, sip beer and set rivets on the outside. Be carefull when working under windows, they can see!!!!
