A friend presents me with an assortment of rivets and a shrug of his 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		 
		
	
	
	shoulders, so I'm attempting to determine what I have. An examination of Table 7-10 of the AC shows head silhouettes; not diameters, just shapes. Most of these rivets appear to have the universal head shape (MS20470), but come in different head diameters; for example here one with a .15 diameter, another with .185 diameter. so there appears to be something missing in the description - head diameter. Spruce sells AN470 with a .250 diameter head. Does anyone know how head diameter is taken into account? If I knew, I'd know what rivet set to look for. Taking the example from another direction, I have a rivet set marked "T101E1-12" . GOOGLING got me no where. I could measure the detent in the rivet set and imply a rivet head diameter, but without knowing how head diameter is taken into account, I can't order a rivet set. Anyone know how to cross reference rivet head size to a rivet set? - Mike  |
