 |
|
List . . . I want to install a couple of "plates" to strengthen the
area of a misdrilled hole. What is the maximum material thickness
(original + strengthening plates) that can be riveted with the A4 and A5
rivets as supplied with the kit? I couldn't find this in the
construction manual or the govt. publications for blind rivets.
thanks. Robert Schoenberger 701

Hi Robert ,page 9 of the construction manual shows the A4 to have a grip
range of 0 to 1/4" and the A5 a grip range of 0 to 5/16" .

Robert,
According to ZAC the grip range for an A4 is 0 to 1/4" (0 to 6mm) and for an A5 it is 0 to 5/16" (0 to 8mm).

Robert,
While drilling the elevator, I misdrilled two holes. Did not look like a big deal, but I like the idea of a "plate" to strengthen the area. What size of "plate" do you intend on useing?

Do not know about the 701 but the 601 rivets are countersunk heat so the grip length is from the top of the head to the end of the shank. 601 form the countersunk rivets head to look like button head so you loose the countersunk depth in grip length. If you install an A-4 rivet in a 1/4 inch thick material using the head that Zenith grinds for the tool, you will NOT have a good rivet- TOO SHORT. Not sure what the maximum grip length is.

Thanks Wade . . . my construction manual for the 701 is 7/01 and I
don't see the ranges below on that page under blind rivets. Thanks for
the information. It's just what I need. Robert

All-
ACS (And I'm sure Wick's, too) provides a grip length calculator on
their website. If the stock rivets aren't long enough, order a small
quantity of the correct size and have them shipped USPS!
