I am concerned that pounding on the rivets will, as you point out, crack the lens. Is there a special tool I need to do this?

JRM I will do my best to explain the process, I don't have any pic's It sure would make it easier. The rivets are hollow and you need a tool it looks like a punch the end is re-cessed with a ^ in the tip this spreads the rivet apart to hold the lens on the housing. The hard part is holding the parts while taping with a small hammer if you have someone to help hold the parts or the hammer. The rivet has a flat end hold it against an anvil and tap on the other end with the hammer real easy, it don't take much of a blow to spread the rivet. The rivet tool should come w/lens kit if not maybe you might have to google for it. Any more roadblocks let me know..Vernski
