| Subject: | Re: Removing solid rivets |
Mark,
I have driven out rivets both ways and neither is better than the other. Just
depends on what way you want to drive them out. The key I found is to make sure
you clamp the spar materials tightly on both sides of the rivet you want to
drive out. Otherwise the layers separate, binding the rivet in. If you have
one that just will not come out, counter drill it with a smaller bit a little
at a time until you get to where it will come out. I had some where I was convinced
that it would NEVER come out, but they did.
Good luck!!

Does anyone have any flight experience with Dynon's autopilot? How well can it
be tuned for the 601xl or 650?
Thanks,
Mike

I made a mistake early on where I had to remove all the rivets from my spars.
Like you I found some of them would not budge. I solved the problem by making
a little jack. I was able to make this jack using only the following tools.
A drill press and a bench grinder. It tooks only a hour or 2 to make. With
this tool they came out easily. Check it out on my website.

have had a rivet stuck, even using a rivet gun with a punch will not budge it.
While I might drill this one out and replace it with a bolt, any ideas to deal
with others would be appreciated.

The heads of some rivets are behind the rear ribs and I worry about damaging
the ribs while attempting to remove these rivets.
