Now I need to fit my nice new tag.

I have the correct hammer drive rivets but they look a little fiddly.

Anyone have any hot tips or tricks to help installation?

Thanks.

Yep, glue the rivets in, and use double sided tape on the tag!!

Cheating!
I used blu-tack to hold the rivet onto the end of an old 3/8 drive Allen key, then lined it up (carefully) and bashed the socket end of said key. A more sophisticated version would probably use a flat-tipped punch, but I didn't have one of those to hand.
Anyway easier than bashing the rivet direct - space to swing a hammer is rather restricted in the door post area even with the door fully open.

I've just realised that a small concave nail punch would do the trick - may even hold the drive rivet with a little of Richard's Blu tack.

Well think that’s all the tags stamped and sent.

Thanks so much for all the kind donations. I think that’s around £200 donated. Hopefully a great result for everyone 8)
