I recently purchased an Ashtray Insert from Tony's Parts for my 1970 'Cuda. While restoring the ashtray door cover portion of the assembly I have been trying to figure out how I might install the two bottom rivets (1/8 hollow wall rivets) necessary to mount the insert to the door cover (see pic). Due to the upward angle of the insert it is impossible to get a rivet setting tool squarely in line with the rivets that would allow a uniform peening over of the rivets when struck with al hammer. The best I have come up with is to shorten the rivet setting tool to about 1 inch, that would allow for squarely placing the head of the setting tool on the rivet and using a "C clamp", I might be able to crush the rivet uniformly. Has anyone else installed this insert and if so what type of tool did you use to install the rivets
