I replaced the rivet with a 1/4” Cleve’s pin with enough washers to make it snug, keep it there with a carter pin.

Clevis pin. Cotter pin. Translated to English from whatever language was originally used.


Translated from Californian.

OK, you guys..........a Clovis pin looks just like the hollow rivet, but it’s solid and has a hole in one end where a carter pin and at least one washer is used to secure the device in place. Aircraft Mechanics know all about these things! While we’re here........I remember a UK Airworthiness Directive that read “ With a torch in one hand and a spanner in the other hand, remove the xxxx”
Took me a week to figure out a “torch” was a flashlight and a “spanner” was a Crescent Wrench!!!
