Rear wheel rivets
I am trying to smooth of the rear of the rivets on the rear wheel. However the inner ones are very tricky to get to - any tips?
Can't get the grinder in, or the dremmel (at the right angle)
Or have people left them rough
Cheers

I used a flexy drive attached to a mini drill with a small grind wheel. The flexy drive is only about pencil size at the business end which does get in. Ryobi is the brand I used.

Re: Rear wheel rivets
Alternatively dont bother... you cant see them on the inside especially when the wheels in place on the engine. Only my opinion but more trouble than its worth.
Re: Rear wheel rivets
Yep I also used the demel with the flexi drive. Best investment I think I made so far, and saved me lots of time.
Re: Rear wheel rivets
Part of me said not too bother - however I have commissioned a professional traction engine painter to paint them and he makes such a good job you feel you want to give him the best to work with.
Have ordered the flexi shaft to go with my dremel which is a really useful peice of kit - was using it last night to tidy up the curves at the base of the spokes on the second rear wheel and it does save a lot of time.
