Hi folks,
Does anyone know where I could find some information regarding the relative strengths of the pull rivets vs the squeezed rivets cited above? I am curious about what prompted the design team to specify one vs. the other. As far as I can tell, the major criterion seems to be whether you can get a 3 in squeezer yoke into position or not.
The other reason I'm asking is that I had a 4-4 rivet cleat badly when I squeezed it as per 10-06 step 6. The drilling out did not go well and I ended up with an enlarged hole. Per The Book, I drilled it to the next size up and used a 5/32 pull rivet from the local hardware store. Is that acceptable, or should I find a source of AN270AD5 rivets instead and replace the pulled rivet?
Thanks in advance,
