The only problem there...the two links you mentioned...is that the
K1000 anchor nuts, and any anchor nuts that I've seen, require 3/32"
rivets to attach, and the other link, to Avex, don't supply 3/32"
flathead rivets...at least through Spruce...perhaps special order
though. And I wouldn't suggest trying to drill the 3/32" anchor nuts
out to 1/8" just for the convenience of not chasing down the
3/32"...they are harder than hell on drills...ask me. However, you
could use a 3/32" bolt...that'd be a #3 machine screw which mikes out
at .092" by actual measure, or a #4 which is .102" by actual measure.
The hole in one of my anchor nuts is .097" by measure, which means
that the #4 would not go, but could be drilled...maybe. There is a
place called MicroFasteners...not sure of spelling...that might have
the #3 screws, but they've (the #3's) been missing from most charts
that I've seen for quite a while. The ones I have are round head, and
were used on model airplanes. If you could still find them, round
head #3's would work, because the head would disappear into the foam
strip that you are going to apply over the butt rib capstrip, right?

I'm not sure what type of anchor nuts you are referring to, but
below are some that will work fine, sans the gold plating. The
ones at .36 each will work fine as will the K1000 at .51 each.

They also have the countersunk blind rivets, see below.

All good advice Lynn, but I don't know why there is a resistance out there
to normal solid soft aluminum rivets (the A type). They're very cheap, easy
to install, and extremely strong--way stronger than anything necessary for
the use that this thread is referring to. There is no need to buy an
expensive squeezer or any special tools. It's very simple. Just drill your
screw holes in the cap strip every 3 inches or so, then using a cleco, hold
the anchor nut in place on the top side of the rib cap. When you're
satisfied with it's placement, simply drill the rivet holes using a 3/32 bit
using the anchor nut as a pattern. Reverse the anchor nut to the underside
of the cap strip and rivet it in place. All that is needed for those tiny
rivets is a small ball peen hammer and some sort of small bucking bar on the
bottom side of the rivet. A few taps with the hammer and it's done. It
helps to use the corresponding attaching screw or a cleco to hold the anchor
nut in place while riveting. Very easy and once you get through a couple of
them the process goes very quickly. It's permanent, won't come apart, and
now if you want, can cover the butt rib area without having to worry about
access. I'd recommend #6 anchor nuts and screws. No need for anything
larger than that. Also, buy a rivet cutter (cheap) then order your rivets
at least 3/8-1/2" long and just trim them to size for the job you need. If
you screw one up in the process, those soft rivets drill out easily.

To adjust for the weight of the handle, one would need to treat the weight
as a distributed load along the whole of the arm. The average arm would be
one half of the total length. As I haven't followed your calculations, you
may already have done this and I then apologize for the clutter of my
comment.

Okay, here is a few things I am hearing; solid rivets are easy to use, you do not need anchor nuts with nylon lock inserts, you do not need a screw every 2" as with the rivets. Is this all accurate for what everyone here is saying. My biggest issue is the solid rivets, from what I have read on other sites it takes a little getting used to to do them right. I can not however find any good illustrated 1. 2. 3. steps and I can not find a place locally that could show me how. The local EAA closed and I can not find one within an hour of here. So if I just go get a bucking bar, ball peen hammer, and some solid rivets, how many tests am I gonna do in scrap aluminum and wood before I will want to go to the butt rib?
(Yes I am mechanically inclined and this will not be like a monkey learning to do needle point.)

I have a suggestion. Last year at Oshkosh, I happened by the Click Bond
booth and saw that they have bonded nutplates. There stuff is a little
pricey, but it sure is neat. No rivets, no screws just click and go.

Check out this installation sequence drawing:
http://www.clickbond.com/files/Documents/cb9948_techguide.pdf

We actually did some of these while I was there.

I squeezed all the solid rivets in my kit with a pair of vise grips. It took about two test rivets to get the correct setting on the vise grips tension screw. Start with loose tension, squeeze, tighten a quarter turn, squeeze, tighten a quarter turn, squeeze...until it looks good.

The pattern on the vise grip jaws transfers to the rivet. If you don't want it to look like that you can file the jaws of a cheep pair smooth. Get a few solid rivets and give it a try. Its easy.

The small end of the unsqueezed rivet should extend 1-1/2 rivet diameter beyond the parts being riveted. Squeeze until it extends only 1/2 rivet diameter and it should be expanded about 1-1/2 rivet diameter.
Clear as mud?

Oh, and get a 100 degree countersink to make the countersink for the rivet head.

Lynn,
Just go down to Fastenall on Page Ave and pick some up. If they don't have them on hand they will order them and have them in two days, max.

You need a locking nut on the anchor so you don't have to tighten the screws too tight against the skylight. Stick with a screw every two inches.

Are we talking the 3/32" rivets, or the anchor nuts? I've kinda
forgotten about Fastenall, as the last 3 times I've gone there they
either don't have what I want or they need to sell you a crate of
whatever. While a crate of rivets isn't such a bad idea, a crate of
1/2-13's, 10 inches long might take a few airplanes worth of building
to use up. : )

I'll look into it, Dan....you got 125 hrs on the 801 already? time
for me to dust off the Kitfox, or you'll be catching me...hours that
is, no way in speed! : )

701...only another 80% to go....: )

Ok, Guy, I guess you have to be an engineer to solve the code on
those rivets. It says on the Skygeek page "near the bottom of page"
100° flush head, but what size? None of the six offered has a size
printed on the item, and a click on "description" (on the other type
of rivets) gives less information than the one-line
description...which is no description at all. The
recreationalmobility site was even worse...no description
whatsoever...no legend for figuring out the code for a "ccr-264-
ss-3-3" .

I'm just a shade-tree mechanic working with a Mac, so maybe I need
help....no further comment on that comment is required. : )

Sorry Lynn. I was in a bit of a rush. My house is in some disarray as we move the kid's rooms around so I couldn't find my Cherry catalogue. Some digging revealed the following:

CCR 264 SS -3 -3 is a Cherry Nut Plate Rivet. The codes mean the following:

-3 = Grip Length (maximum grip in 1/16 inch increments)
-3 = Diameter Dash Number (in 1/32 inch increments)
SS - Material Code (in this case 1018 steel)
264 - Head Style (in this case 100 degree flush head)
CCR - Cherry's Basic Part Number (Inch)

My source is: http://www.cherryaerospace.com/files/pdf/catalog/CA-1036.pdf

So the rivets I referenced were all steel 100 degree flathead 3/32 diameter pops in various lengths.

Thanks for the followup, Guy. That site you mentioned for the Cherry
Rivets is a treasure trove of info about rivets, and a code-breakers
bible. : ) Now all we need is to find a supplier who is just a bit
lower in standards than Cherry, and will supply an aluminum rivet
with steel mandrel, in various lengths. By the way, it's important to
remember that the first "3" in the code is diameter, and the second
"3" (in your example) is length. Nice to see that if a person was
willing to use the steel-steel (material code SS)
that those ARE available in a 5/16" length and shorter. Maybe I'm
being too anal in thinking that an all-steel rivet is too strong to
use when the base material is wood. Although in the case of the wing
rib cap strips, that wood is pretty tough stuff, and would probably
handle steel rivets, but I still stand by my caution to not use
stainless-stainless rivets, as I feel these are just too strong for
the wood environment. The installation of SS rivets in my firewall...
30-some altogether?...was enough to convince me that those things are
strong!

I used them to attach my floating nut plates that hold my skylight to
the butt rib cap strip. They are countersunk into the wood and went
in with no problem, with not even a hint of stress to the wood.
Though they are steel they are nothing like stainless pops you might
be used to; they're very easy to install. (After all, they're only 3/32 OD.)

O.K., let me get this straight, you need a locking nut on a anchor? I thought an anhcor nut was a locking nut. That's all that holding my wing tips on, just anchor nuts and screws. Leon Morris/Classic 4 Sptr/65%/ Flower Mound,TX

I think what Tom meant is that you need the anchor nut to have a self-
locking feature, such as the "squeezed nut" in the all-metal anchor
nuts, K1000, MK1000, K2000, MK2000, or K3000, or the elastic-insert
locking device as in the AN366F, NA17, or NA5's as seen in the Spruce
catalog.
