Tim I put a call through to Zenith and was told that the rivets can be between
1.2 to 1.75 bigger than the metal you are fixing. When I clamp my spar tight together
the AD-14 come within specs.

We completed the upgrade on our 601 XL recently. As soon as we got the
annual completed we put it back into the sky. So far we have noticed a much
more solidly performing airplane. We stay well within the envelop that the
plane was designed for and are having a blast. When I decide to sell
eventually, someone is going to get one hell-ov-an airplane. We have the
3300 Jabiru with an MGL Enigma EFIS along with the Trio Auto pilot and
Altitude hold.

Congrats Pat!
Do you have any pics?
What "envelope" are you flying within?
How much weight did it add?
How long did it take?
Here are a couple pics of my "new" bird... added 13 pounds, took 13 hours, total
cost $390...

One thing that made me chose the Zenith Aircraft -is their robust landing
gear... -Just land in rough strips holding the front wheel up as much as
possible, both in the 701 and in any of the 601's... - in any emergency
fly the airplane all the way down, yes lets all use the check list always.

Inrat,
Thanks for the info but can you be more specific? You lost me at 1.2 to 1.75 bigger.
Are we talking about diameter, length, rivet or hole?

Sorry about that. Yes 1.2 to 1.75 times the Dia of the rivet.
Most people say it has to be 1.5 times the Dia this is the ideal length but Zenith
state in the CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS section CS #403 page 28 the Max - Min
- and Nominal settings. After setting a rivet i measures it and it was within
specs.
