Stay bolt beading tool
I am in need of a beading / caulking tool No. 166 as per Pacific Railway drawing, to template No. 166, see attachments.
Has anyone got such a tool or know the whereabouts of one to buy, borrow or rent. Perhaps those in the preserved railway repair game may be able to help. Regards Charlie |

I also have the drawings for this type of snap, and have the staybolt riveting machines, the snaps used have a hexagonal shank behind 1.217" standard snap shank so they can be rotated by the machine whilst forming the head.
If you need more info contact me. John White |

There is a YouTube video which shows this process. The video documents the building and installation of a copper firebox into a railway boiler, I think somewhere in Switzerland. Ring any bells with anybody - I will look for it.
Cheers Carl. |
