- Just a quick question. Is there a secret to making pop rivets fit the holes? I cafefully drill my holes with a pillar drill and with the work clamped in a drill clamp but the rivets always seem too b

- Richard, I was thinking about that myself last week, when I remembered that when you drill glassfiber, the drill can't quite cut the fiber itself so much as the resin- that leaves some fiber in the p

- Hi Richard Perhaps you are using an 1/8" drill bit. I use a #30 (0.128) bit and no longer have this problem. The 1/8" drill is usually a bit too small. Pops A036 Just a quick question. Is there a sec

- 04/15/2002 03:06:10 PM, Richard, I think that part of the problem is that drill bits do not actually cut a round hole, I use a 1/8th round file, a couple of turns by hand takes off the high spots on

- Richard, I used the drill bit called out by the manual, then used a miniture round file to 'ease' the holes to fit the rivets. Takes only a little time, but you get a very nice fit. Garry 513 Hi Rich

- Hey Richard. The 1/8" drillbit is as you describe a little tight. Try a 3.3 mm (as the Manual says) instead. Perfect! Hans
