Can any one confirm the total number of solid rivits and sizes for a 

601xl/650

Who can supply these

John,

I'm not positive about this as I'm using solid rivets in many places where they aren't called for on the plans, but I think for the most part the quantities (for the solid rivets) are called out on the drawings.  For instance on my drawings for 6w3 (Wing Spar) the drawing says AN-470-AD-6-14 (RIVETS 142 Required).  and AN-470-AD-5-9 (136 Required).  There are 2 Spars so you have to double those numbers.  The carry-through calls for 68 AN-470-AD-5-9.  Of course you'd want to round up and have some to replace the ones you loose or mangle and have to drill out etc.  Make sure you get AD rivets, as those are the hard ones.  I know when I started my project one of the first things I did was to go through all the drawings and put notes on them for numbers of rivets and to convert metric to English units.

Hope this helps.

Dan

John, Aircraft Spruce or Wicks would be reliable sources for rivets.



Do not archive

John,

 

 In addition to the structural rivets Dan talks about, you are going to need a bunch of the small, soft, flush head rivets for attaching plate nuts.  The ones that ZAC supplied with the kit really weren't long enough, so I ordered a bunch from either Wicks or Spruce.  They sell by the pound, not by units.  I think I ordered 1/4 pound and got plenty.

You asked for confirmation on solid rivets. I would suggest you buy 1/2 lb.

of each size that's listed on the drawings.

Solid rivets are inexpensive. I buy most of my solid rivets from Genuine

Aircraft Hardware.

Zenith will sell you all the blind rivets you want. They claim to do QC

checks on the rivets they sell.
