    Subject: Tool for Removing Rivets
          
      Folks:
      
      If you will be deconstructing your plane, you're going to need to remove 
      a *LOT* of rivets.  And when building (or rebuilding), you'll definitely 
      want to re-do any rivet that seems even the least bit marginal.  The 
      best and safest way to remove a pulled rivet without damaging the 
      material or the hole is to:
      
      1. Punch out the rivet mandrel.
      2. Carefully drill off the rivet head.
      3. Drill or punch out the rivet body.
      
      I have developed a specialty tool for punching out the rivet mandrels 
      which will make the job much, much easier.  By getting a large number of 
      the punch pins made, I was able to lower the cost per pin, so I can 
      offer these to builders at a reasonable price.  Not trying to get rich, 
      just make back my costs.  Also not a web guru (!), as you will see from 
      the description page:

      Please take a look.  Orders will be filled immediately *after* 
      Christmas!  Be sure to include your shipping address in a note with 
      payment.
      
      Thanks,

      I would be really surprised if you could remove 5/23" solid rivets with this tool,
      but to knock the tails from pops would work .I used a 3X rivet gun with a
      special pin punch attachment on the spar rivets and they where still pretty tough
      to get out.I do use a similar tool as a center punch,spring loaded but you
      can't hit it with a hammer as the spring tends to absorb the impact. Cheers

          I'm interested in hearing about your prop choices for HDSs (Corvair 
      or 100hp), size, type, pitch and performance. Thanks, and Merry 
      Christmas!
