Why are special heads from Zenith Aircraft required?
It looks like the standard sizes are 3/32, 1/8, 5/32 and 3/16 ? These seem to be the heads that are standard on different guns...

Just buy harbor freight's el-cheapo hand riveter the heads fit the pneumatic
riveter. Pop the heads in a drill get it spinning and have at it with a dremel
with a round grinding bit. I made several in just a little time in an evening.
It's really very simple to do.
The Zenith hand riveter heads do NOT fit the harbor freight.

The Zenith riveter nosepieces have been ground out concave, so as to form
the "button-head" on flathead rivets. Sizes are, as you said, standard.Blue
