I am curious to know if anyone is just dimpling and riveting, instead of putting the part together drilling up to a #40 then taking it back apart deburring then dimpling and riveting?
As I see it the undersized hole that Vans stamps is as burrless as a hole gets. When the holes is dimpled the rivet fits right in. When the hole is drilled then dimpled the rivet usually fits prettty sloppy. If you really think about it it prob. wouldn't hurt anything, but I quess its just an age old process that worked for the certified world so those practices were carried on to cover their butt. Or is this to cover the 51% rule?
This would save a whole mess of time.
Just seeing if this has been discussed or done before.
