Rivet Size
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 6:30 pm
If you have oversized a rivet hole, is the normal practice to insert a 5/32
cherry rivet, or to drill out to the even bigger 3/16. I noticed on a couple
of other builds that the replacement rivet was smaller than 3/16 but had to
be larger than 1/8. Decided to replace the fus 26 with .032 so had to drill
out all the rivets... now left with some oversized holes.
