APPROVED SUPPLIER of the Avdel ESN50 SPR Riveter and Genesis range of Hydro Pneumatic rivet guns. Avdel is the approved self-piercing rivet system for Jaguar, Landrover, VW, Audi and many more manufacturers. Self-piercing rivets are ideal for applications where different materials can be joined together. Generally used in the aftermarket repair of vehicle body panels, particularly aluminium. BMW and Jaguar also use rivets and bonding on steel panels due to the joint's high resistance to rust and fatigue.
