Removing Old Rivets / Fitting New Rivets ?
Now I have received this item, how do I remove the original rivets without damaging the machine, and how do I fit the new rivets, as they seem to have some sort of nail attached to them, or does this come off? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Answer this Question (3 Answers)
- The existing rivets should be drilled out with a drill slightly larger than the hole in the actual rivet - not the flat part of the rivet. The nail in the new rivet is pulled by the rivet gun to squash the rivet, which is aluminium, into place. The nail breaks off with the action of the gun.
- You need to drill out the old rivets from the machine - use a drill which is nominally the same size as the new rivets - it will tend to self-centre on the old rivets. To fit the new rivets you need a pop-rivet gun which uses the "nail-like" piece sticking out of the rivets to pull the rivet into a fixing condition - as it does this the "nail" breaks off
- drill out old ones and you need rivit gun to fit new ones . quite easy to do
