Back at it… – Airplanes, donkeys, and more!


Hours: 4

After my little health issue, I was able to put some more time into riveting the elevator.

The task was to rivet the elevator skins to the front elevator spar. This was mostly done with the rivet gun with a flush set, as the yoke on the rivet squeezer was just a bit too short. They do make a 4″ yoke which would have worked, but that’s another $140+… and I can get by with what I have.

I also got the first elevator counterbalance installed. It makes the elevators look much more substantial! It’s also a little tight getting some of the rivets, but it’s all doable if you follow the instructions carefully!

I'm new at rivets!


I have been doing some work to my '86 sovereign, and have had some trials with the rivets. A friend told me that after I insert and squeeze the gun so the rivet sets, that the tail should always snap off on it's own, only two out of twenty did this, the rest I had to snip off, which is right??

Also, some of the rivets were not real tight, even though I squeezed the heck out of them, and I do have a grip, why is this??? I was using the smallest rivet I could find, 1/8" aluminum.

Thanks!

Hello, sometimes you must let up on the handle and squeeze it several times,by doing this it will draw the head into the rivet and tighten it and the nail will pop off.

As Trapperman said, let the gun open, push the gun down to the rivet and give it another squeeze. The rivet shaft should not snap off until the rivet is fully compressed on the back side.

You should probably drill out the ones that you snipped and do them again.

Depending on the gun you have there may be an adjustment that is done with the tool to change the head. It is like a flat key and you adjust the screw that compresses the spring that pushes on the fingers that grip the rivet tail, to loose and it slips instead of pulling it tight and snapping it off after 2 to 3 squeezes.

Rivets that were not fully tightened are harder to remove then ones installed properly. Your rivets will probably spin when you drill them.

There is a guide that specifies the length of rivet you need to use for the thickness of material... also, the diameter you need to use should be snug with the drilled hole. You might want to put a rivet in your gun and see how it deforms without fastening anything... aluminum rivets deform quite a bit before they 'pop'... hence the name 'pop rivet'. On your typical cheapo hand rivet tool... this is usually two or three full strokes if you can get them, or several partial strokes if you can't get full stroke on each squeeze (like in tight spots).
