Just a few questions.. Where can I find the heatsinks needed? and how do i riveted the metal sheeting to the blower itself? ---

The heatsinks have not been identified. There are many ways to attach rivits, easiest/cheapest way for someone who has no experience is to get a pop-rivit tool. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/d/0/d0858b818f9df8292622f4b58b6da723b1b0d156.jpeg) ---

well yeah i know…but im using one of those cardboard shipping tubes as the blower base and i was going to wrap it with, i thinks its ?styrene?, a “sale sign”. How do i rivet the wrapped sign to the tube itself? ---

Same way you rivit anything together. Drill a hole through both items, insert rivit. ---

should i use a small washer on the inside of the shipping tube so the rivet stays in place and doesnt rip out? i tried looking through the posts but thhere arent any detailed builds for the SB ---

> [@stephens540](#): > > should i use a small washer you should do that if you use those materials. You might also look into aluminum flashing for roofs, rather than use styrene/ sale signs. it comes in rolls, and is sold at home improvement stores. ---

It wouldn’t be a bad idea. You could also just drill holes in squares of styrene (as long as it’s at least 1/16" thick) and use that instead of buying washers. You just want something more rigid than cardboard to hold the rivit. ---

I’m not sure about people’s use of the cardboard tube for the gun but I know a handful of people have had success with PVC. Some have used the greenish sewer PVC wrapped in aluminum flashing. 🙂 EDIT: Damn people beat me to it 😃 ---

I forget what kind I used from Home Depot. I believe there’s a hinge visible on the inside side of the gun but the outside just looks to have a kind of seam… first image courtesy of Kingpin [http://raccoonrocket.com/gb/reference/gb2/slides/GB2-HD-Ref-095.html](http://raccoonrocket.com/gb/reference/gb2/slides/GB2-HD-Ref-095.html) ---

I was thinking of using a pringles can as the tube, and a plastic shower head as the nozzle. Then just gluing on knobs where needed. ---
