Working on the MDC shay
#5
This is the rivet tool I built to emboss the rivets.

   

This is what I came up with for the light wires.
I made a contact disc from PC board with enamal coated wire soldered to it and fed the wires through small holes in the housing, then bending and gluing it along the inside of the brackets.

   

Holes were drilled in the shell and the wires feed through and the assembly glued in place.

   

The wires were glued to the shell to prevent them from flexing and breaking off.
