    ADJUSTABLE RIVET SPACER - Which size do you recommend, 10 or 20 hole?

      @KitplanesMagazine  Před 2 lety +1

      It really depends on how large a piece you need to work on. Generally, the 10-hole is easier to manage for smaller jobs. You can use the 10-hole for longer runs by overlapping.

    Much easier to work out dimensions if they are all in metric

    How do I lay out rivet lines equally if I don’t have a rivet fan?

      Locate your two ED holes where your rivet line will fall out (fastener A and fastener B). Take that measurement between the two ED fastener holes (example 7.500 inches). Then determine how many rivets you need or what is required in your rivet row including the two fastener holes marked for edge distance (11 fasteners). Now it comes down to the math.
      Take your measurement of 7.500 inches. And divide that by the number of fasteners you need minus 1 fastener. 11 fasteners required minus 1 is 10. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO SUBTRACT 1 FASTENER!!! 7.500 / 10 = 0.750
      0.750 is your rivet spacing. From fastener A to fastener B and when you go to make your last mark of .750 inch it will fall out on Rivet B. As long as your pitch of whatever diameter of fastener you use falls within the parameters of minimum and maximum pitch your golden!!!
      Hope this helps!!!

    I hate how the FAA treat non A&Ps like morons. I am a professional Drafter and a Mechanical Engineer and design sheet metal assemblies all day long. I can handle these sorts of tasks just fine. The FAA needs to better distinguish between personal aircraft and commercial aircraft. This is why so many are doing experimental aviation.

      you got that right! also, they should make a separate endorsement for rotor wing and fixed wing.

      Guys, if I dont have a rivet fan, how can I lay out rivet lines equally spaced out?

      @@manoraj5804 You use math and a scale (ruler). Even with a rivet fan, you need the scale to determine your starting and end points for the fasteners in the repair area.
