rivet size question

Pthompsn · Post by **Pthompsn** » Mon Dec 29, 2014 1:03 pm

I'm building Rebel 320R and have a manual dating to 1993. on page 302 it gives instructions for riveting the roof onto the frame. On step 276 subparagraphs 3) it reads - 1/4" x 3/16" avex rivet in top carrythrough gussets.

I can't find an avex rivet in this size (1/4 x 3/16") at any supplier.

Any info on this rivet would be appreciated

Rivets are described by diameter and grip length.

it reads - 1/4" x 3/16" avex rivet in top carrythrough gussets.

Therefore the Rivet will be 3/16" diameter..... 1/4" (.250") will indicate grip length.

Here's a link for a 3/16th .250" avex rivet....

You can also get smaller quantities from Aircraft Spruce and Specialty.

Jerry,

The link was just for Rivet Information reference.

You can buy is smaller quantities from this company also. I referenced this company because it is local to me.... No shipping costs.

Cheers,

It's a typo.... as there are NO 1/4" rivets in a Rebel.. unless you screwed up and make that happen... :shh:

It should read 3/16 x 1/4" rivet.... or to be real easy it should read RV1613 ! :thumbup:

Thanks for the reply. I thought the first number 1/4" was the diameter number and the 3/16" the grip.

If the numbers were 3/16 x 1/4 it would make sense.

That is why I am suspect of a typo

Again,thanks thanks for the reply

Thanks. Very helpful info.

RV 1613 (3/16 x 1/4)
RV 1619 (3/16 x 3/8)

Yes... you are correct...1613's up there. .not 1619's! I'm allowed one slip up a week, based on my salary! Was thinking "gusset plates" needed the longer one, but the top plates are thinner than the lower ones where 1619's are used.

Is there anywhere other then Mam to get the Rv1613 and Rv1619 rivets ?

There are quite a few rivet suppliers. Aircraft Spruce and Specialty has them. In the US, Hanson Rivet is a good source, but minimum orders apply.
