Hi guys,
I had the pain last night installing some platenuts. This morning I searched this forum for tips on installing platenuts....and nothing.
So for completeness would you guys add/reference your platenut installation tips and photos here for others to find & use later:
Some specific Platenut questions from my side:
1) Is the platenut jigs worth it? Buy or make your own platenut jigs?
2) When to countersink and when to dimple platenuts?
3) I believe there is a special small head rivet to aid platenut installations (MS1097)? And
4) Apparantly Van's sell a flush head #40 Pop rivet to aid platenut installations?
Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards
Rudi
