Subject: Grill Welt pliers tool program.
Date Posted: 26 Apr. 2016 at 4:23pm
Im not sure where this belongs so please move it if needed.

A few weeks ago I was about 20 bucks from the free shipping with Walcks so I added the special grill welt pliers.  Ive finished my grill and have no idea when I will ever need these again.  It is against my nature to sell a tool but I have no problem passing it around the CJ2A page.

Here is what I propose.  If you need to do the welting on your grill, send me a few dollars to cover shipping, and I will send them your way.  Then when you get done, either send them to me or you can become "the keeper of the tool"LOL  Post on this page that you have them and then send them to the next person who needs them.  

Let me know yalls thoughts.

Any chance you are coming to the Spring Willys Reunion in Effingham, IL May 20-21?

I really like this idea! I will keep up with this thread so I can participate hopefully soon! 
Has anyone mounted the welt while the grill was off the jeep?

First I want to thank Ryan for his generosity. THAT USA MADE TOOL IS AMAZING!!!

Not long after this thread was started and just before I painted my grill I contacted him and true to his word he sent me the pliers....AND as equally as important as the tool this advice.

Quote Practice on a couple of rivets first.  Its a little tricky.  I found it easier to spread the ends out just a tad with a pair of needle nose pliers.  A quick clamp seems to work better than slow and steady pressure on making the rivet roll like its supposed too.


I painted my tub....fenders....GRILL!!!

http://s924.photobucket.com/user/ctate1957/media/image_zpsyajlrg3c.jpeg.html" rel="nofollow">

Did a few practice rivets exactly per his instructions. It took me three tries to get it right but luckily with the welt they always send extra rivets!!!

Snug, tight
http://s924.photobucket.com/user/ctate1957/media/image_zpsu2kalr9g.jpeg.html" rel="nofollow"> ]

Perfect rolls on the backside....no scratches....

http://s924.photobucket.com/user/ctate1957/media/image_zpsphmcn5hb.jpeg.html" rel="nofollow">

And will finish up tomorrow. (It's late and I'm tired)

Soooo

THANK YOU RYAN!!!

Those rivets are hard, stiff, and even with this tool it took me both hands and a grunt to squeeze them tight enough. Why fool with something home made when YOU can be the next user of this tool and do the job right.

I'm only going to keep it a week or so longer in the hopes that I can send it to YOU.

If nobody responds, then I'll send it back to Ryan so that it can start over.

And that ain't fair to him, having to run back and forth to the mail box and post office like that. Come on guys, somebody speak up. Who needs or thinks they're gonna need this tool next!!!

Just let us know and I'll get it in the mail to YOU!!!

Here's my finished Grill

http://s924.photobucket.com/user/ctate1957/media/image_zpsdzpz2z5m.jpeg.html" rel="nofollow">

After installing a few of the rivets I personally found it easier for me to do this

http://s924.photobucket.com/user/ctate1957/media/image_zpsqubsniyy.jpeg.html" rel="nofollow">


As you can see I spread them a little bit exactly like that before pinching them back enough to get them through the hole. In doing so I tried to break a little curve about half way of the split.

Maybe my squeeze just isn't what it used to be???

After getting the rivet in the hole I gently spread them back out and used the second groove in the channel lock tool to start the set. Then I re-set the tool in the first groove to completely tighten and set.

Tomorrow with Ryan's permission they'll be on the way to Clayvt who is painting a 48 cj2a that he has been working on off and on for 18 years!!

"I could use the plyers!
Im painting my body this week and have the welt kit standing by"!!

Per the agreement when he's through he'll post back here and if nobody speaks up soon he'll send them back to Ryan.

UPDATE ON THE GRILL WELT PLYERS PROGRAM

as noted above when I finished with Ryan's grill welt plyers I posted here and got a reply from ANDREW....who goes by clayvt on this site.

Just tonight I got this email from him and I'll add it here.




http://.%20" rel="nofollow - The pliers worked as advertised. But I think I'm going to have to re-do the ones on the corners where there are two layers of metal. The rivets that came with the welt I got from Kaiser Willys were just a little too short to get really good expansion. I found a leather working place that sells the split rivets in different lengths. The pliers are currently being driven in a uhaul trailer along with the jeep to my home in New Mexico. I'll keep an eye on the thread for about 3 weeks and if no one else pops up I'll mail them back to Ryan.   Thanks again! Andrew


So, speaking for myself I was truly proud to be a part of this program. I don't know if it's worth noting or not but I ordered my kit from rfjpsales and had no problems with the length of the rivets on the sides where the grill has the double joints of metal and had quite a few rivets left over even after practicing on some.

If anyone else will be needing these soon.........as Andrew mentioned in his email now might be a good time to post here.

And if not....then Ryan they will soon be back in your hands.

Once again thank you for helping us out

Signing out now

Thanks again for the plier program! like previously mentioned I'll have the pliers for a few weeks. If nobody else needs them I'll mail them back to Ryan.

Here's a closer look at my welt. Like I mentioned the rivets were a touch short on the double metal flange. The welt kit came from Kaiser, I found a leather working place that has the rivets so I'm going to order them up and swap them out while I still have the pliers.

I've got a pair that I would donate to keep the program alive. I bought them just a month before you started the program.

It is unfortunate that your pair are lost, but I don't anticipate that I will need my pair anytime soon as they worked their magic for my grille welt already.

Somebody needs them, post your need here first and then PM the person that has them...that way maybe we can keep track of where they are...same rules that Ryan 289 had...

...and let's not be the one to break the chain of Jeep Fellowship by not responding to someone's need for the tool...

I donated a pair to the program, but no one has contacted me...PM me and they are yours to borrow for the cost of the shipping...and you agree to advertise the fact that you are finished with them and agree to send them on the next person in line if they will pay the shipping.

For this to be an effective program the person that has them has to let others know that they are finished with them on this thread...

Hi-
I've got a pair boxed and ready to go; PM me your zip code and I'll get you a shipping price.
They worked great, but I have to say that copper split rivets were 100x easier to bend. The steel rivets were impossible for me. My old-fashioned local hardware store had them in stock in an assortment pack, and the different grip lengths actually came in handy on the top vs the sides of the grill edge.

I am currently painting my grill.  It may take a week or more to get better weather to finish it up (too much humidity).  However, i will be needing a set of pliers as soon as its done.  If no one else plans to need a set in the next week or so, I'd like to get a set.

I assume the protocol is to forward them to the next user in a flat rate box?  Should I send some money through Paypal to cover shipping to me or just cover the shipping to the next person?

Hey there friends, I'm hoping to partake in the program! My 48 2A is coming along nicely. Planning to start a projects thread of my restoration even though I'm several years into it! I have lots of photos when I do.

If there's a tool available I'll send the current user shipping costs when you're done. PM me, and thank you!

Contact Ryan_89 by private message.  He has the pliers.  When you get the pliers, contact me by private message for some tips on how I used the pliers.

There are at least two pairs of pliers in the program. I'm not sure who has the other pair.

There should be a pair out there somewhere that I donated to the program. Did someone not report that they were finished with them?

Time to get them back in circulation...fess up if it was you.

Read on back a few pages more...there should be more than one set out there. I know because I put a pair into the program so there should be at least two pair out there at all times. Mine and Ryan's...

I counted 3 pliers available.  I'm not following too well who has them.  I would like to get in line.  So, if all sets are in use I will continue to watch, if a set is setting idle waiting to send forward, I'll be happy to contact via PM.  Thank you.

I have a set now. The welt I bought was too short to cover everything and the vendor is sending me more. I installed the part around the top of the grill today. I should get the rest of the welt material next week. When I'm done I will let you all know.

This program renews my faith in human beings.

A rear drum puller is not a one-time-use-per-Jeep tool like the pliers.  I would lend mine out, but as sure as I did, I would need it the next day.

Hello Guys & Gals,
I'm finished with the Grill Welting Pliers. 
They worked great but they are a little difficult to squeeze for the longer rivets.
I don't think the steel rivets included in kits are necessary because the're so hard. Copper would work just fine but of course they're not OEM. Oh well.
I did find a light coat of 3-1 oil to the curved jaw helped immensely.

Be aware that I had to pay to have them shipped to me so you will have 
to pay to have me ship them to you. No big deal, mine was less than $10.

This is a GREAT program and I, like many others, appreciate it.
I have the pliers ready to ship to the next person that wants them.

PM me when you're ready.
Tim
