| Subject: | cockpit floor rivet drag |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: CLOJAN@aol.com
Has anyone given any thought on riveting parts from the underside of the
cockpit floor to prevent the pulled heads from hanging from the bottom of the
plane and creating drag? It appears that this can be done either from the top
or bottom. Would the rivet "bulbs" be unsightly on the inside of the cockpit
floor? Thanks Jack Russell Clovis CA

Jack,
I've pulled all rivets exposed from the outside to keep
the heads in the air flow. I think most do this. The bulbs
sticking up thru the floor are not a visual problem.
Access is the other thing. If you have to drill out any of
these, you want to be outside the plane if you can.
Drilling and pulling rivets from the inside is hard enough
where it's necessary.

Jack,
One thing to keep in mind, you should rivet the thinner metal to the
thicker. The shop head should be formed on the thicker metal.

I installed most of my rivets in the floor from the bottom. The floor will
be covered by insulation and floor mats anyway so the rivets will not be
visible.

We are riveting them from the outside, we are planning to use a light
carpet w/insulation inside, then the pulled side will be covered.
