Installing clutch rivets
I did this
Can buy new US made pads for it but I've never installed clutch rivets. Skip the send it to a shop thing, I am pretty much a shop just never done this task and can't find manufacturer guidelines or recommended tools.

Re: Installing clutch rivets
Because the pads and rivets are going to cost me $50. I live in New Zealand so shipping a whole clutch way offsets the price of a new one, local guys want about $250 for a centre like this. It's done like 150 miles.

Re: Installing clutch rivets
For the record I tried a few things cause I was all "pffffft anvil lulz"
Turns out you should just use an anvil and a couple different peening punches if you're an at home guy. A whole workshop full of awesome tools and I use an anvil, goddamn I hate reality sometimes. I just made a jig to hold the clutch on a dolly kinda thing I made of an old flywheel bolt and it worked awesome
As a sidenote the old pads were just flying to pieces, factory defect on the right hand side by the looks causing delamination. The USA made ones don't have the same issue in the slightest. Better I find this now than in the car at 9000rpm though
