I'm ready to install the nutplates for the forward  bolts in the F445 Flap Bearing Blocks.  The instructions say that a rivet  squeezer can be made from a pair of vice grips, since there is no access for a  regular squeezer.  Seems very crude to me.  Is this the way other  builders have installed these?

Stan,



Have you tried nutplate rivets?  They can be installed with a standard rivet puller.

I'm not sure if I'm the Stan you are addressing, but I have used Cherry Max  rivets.  They work great.  They are also expensive.  Used in  certain applications, they can be less expensive than the time spent trying to  do the job otherwise.

 I have used, and like, Cherry Max rivets.
