i never use the supplied rivets as they are a pain if and when you want them off. Use small ss nuts and bolts/screws with a flat head. I then drill the plastic end caps.

the rivet the kit comes with are the wrong ones, piaggio use pop rivets all from the top apart from the end caps which are from the bottom i use short 3mm on the runners the 4x10mm on all the end caps apart the two buy the legshield trim which are about
4x13mm hope this helps

its not a special tool as such just a normal pop rivet gun fitted with a longer "nozzle" so that it will sit in the runner,available from any tool warehouse
