Pulled Rivets in Tight Places JOE NORRIS
PULLED RIVETS ARE FOUND on many of today’s homebuilts. Designs such as the Sonex, Sonerai, Zenith series, and others feature pulled rivets in their construction. Pulled rivets are used because they offer simple, one-person installation along with the low cost of required installation tools, saving both time and money for the builder. Sooner or later, the builder of a sheet metal aircraft using pulled rivets will run into a situation where there just isn’t room to get the rivet installation tool into the area where the rivet needs to be installed. An easy fix for this problem is to modify the tool. Joe Norris, EAA 113615, is EAA’s Homebuilders Community Manager.
