Assembly Standard

Riveting

Standard Pattern

Rivets are normally placed in every other hole (e.g. rivet, skip, rivet) starting from the farthest edges and working inward.

Steps

1. Place Clecos (Place in a way were they do not need to be removed to place rivets)
2. Get mentor/student lead inspection
3. Place rivets (do not rivet them) in all holes following the standard pattern. If a rivet does not fit in the hole (i.e. the hole is too small), move on with the pattern as if it was placed successfully.
4. Get mentor/student lead inspection
5. Secure (rivet) the rivets
6. Widen out the holes that rivets would not fit in (run 3/16th drill through)
7. Place remaining rivets in those holes
8. Get mentor/student lead inspection
9. Secure (rivet) the rivets
10. Remove Clecos
