[VAC] Re: Clecos Size



Jeff. You use olympic rivets when replacing Airstream sheet metal. They have 
a diameter of 5/32 inch. When you drill the new holes, you must use a #21 
drill bit and not a #20 as Aircraft Spruce suggests. If you use #20's almost 
every rivet will leak. If your going to buck rivet, then you use a #30 drill 
bit which is an oversize 1/8 inch.
