Complete rivet noob here. I want to replace a stand up target face on my Joker Poker. I don't foresee having to rivet often so I want to get away with the most inexpensive method as possible and the rollover punch that pinballinreno posted about seems to be the way. What will I need to get to accomplish this?
Also, what is the best way to remove the old rivet/target face. Drill it out?
Ok, so a set like this would work

Quoted from explosiveegg:Those are for roll pins.
You're trying to do a tubular rivet. amazon.com link »
Ok glad I asked. Will this work? $6 vs $30

Quoted from pinballinreno:You dont really need a lot of exotic tools if its only a couple rivets.
Yeah, that's why I'm trying to find something cheap or something that will work. I'm sure I'll use it more if I have it, but for right now, it'll only be the one standup target face that I'll be replacing.
Quoted from pinballinreno:I would just use the fat old center punch and a hammer.
Its been done this way for years on casual repairs.
Nickel plated brass rivets are more forgiving than steel ones.
That will work for me!
PBR says the target face will come with 1 rivet...so if I muck it up, I'll be SOL.
Would these rivets work for extras?

thanks again for answering. From someone that only knows the existence of rivets but has never actually had to fasten anything, there's a lot of stuff out there to make it confusing.
Quoted from BorgDog:PBR sells extras. I had them throw 20 extra in last time I ordered faces.
Awesome. I'll have to add that into my order.
