Rivet Replacement

RIVET REPLACEMENT

NOTE: Rivets that are removed will be replaced with the next larger size bolts.

1. CAUTION: Drill only where a rivet was removed.

Drill a bolt hole in the support and the frame.

1. Line drill a hole the size of the bolt through the old rivet hole (for example, for 7/16-in diameter rivets, use a 1/2-in drill, 3/8-in or 10-mm rivets, use a 7/16-in drill).
2. Position the support.
3. Insert the bolts, nuts and washers (Property Class 9.8 metric [Grade 8]) in the drilled holes (at least 2 threads on the bolt must protrude through the components).
4. Tighten the bolts.
