RE: [VAL] Brake magnet disc
<Glad to hear that the bucked rivets holding my airplane together are ok to
be loosey-goosey, they all seem to be pretty tight, might have to loosen
them up a bit. Lets re-think this.>
Earl,
Go ahead and re-think it, think it till it is a square peg (rivet, bucked
even) in a round hole.
A pop-rivet is never supposed to attach two pieces together that are
designed to have a slip fit. A bucked rivet can handle the stresses.
I never said that bucked rivets are SUPPOSED to be loosey-goosey. Paying
attention to the topic during its entire life would have given you the
information that the rivets were holding an item that was currently a slop
fit. It was not supposed to have a slop fit but because it was a bucked
rivet it was able to keep the item from falling off of the backing plate and
into the inside of the drum.
