| Post subject: | main sail head rivets |
The head of my main has only a few rivets holding the sail to the plate, most are missing. I would like to replace the missing rivets. Does anyone know what kind of rivets or fastener to use? Thanks. And now for something completely different. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHGFMm_35e0[/youtube] |

8010071 RIVET 3/16x 5/16 ALUM These are like classic iron worker's rivets. Head on one end of a metal shaft. You place the rivet in a hole and pound / flair the other end to clamp the two parts together. Place a few rivets through the holes to align the plates and clamp with vise grips. Place the head of a rivet on a vise / anvil type surface. Best tool flairs the shaft end a bit while it pounds it down flush with the surface. You can use a straight punch with a hammer or just a hammer. |
