.500" HD air chisels and bucking tools??

Hi guys

I have put my hands on an old Atlas Copco air driven Riveting hammer but I lack the tools to it. There was an old shank in it that that had broken off so i messured it to a .500 inch shank, but where can I find tools for this?

Both chisels and riveting tolls are needed

Thanks in advance

My Star riveting machine has 1/2" shanks and the only dies i am aware of are for tubular rivets like for brake linings. I made an adapter to use dies for the pnuematic squeeze riveters like used in the aircraft industry.
Can you machine an adapter?
