Im needing to help the workshop department out at work, we have a carbonfibre frame in which needs a cable guide attaching, we have the relevent parts to fix but not a rivet gun with a slim nozzle.

If you see the guide tapers up around the hole which means the rivet gun nozzle sits pissed and not close enough to pull it straight.





Does anyone have or know where i can purchase a slim rivet nozzle ( or whatever there called)

Thanking you

 

are you after a manual one or a air one?

 

and what kind of rivet?

 

Manual one prefered but we do have an air one.

Have you a contact / different pieces to hand?

 

The rivet measures shaft into the frame 3.2mm and the shaft in which you grip is 2.1mm

Im a rivet virgin here

 

we have loads of differant types as we do aircraft stuff, i cant lend you one as they are not mine, but i can have a look and see what we have and point you in the right direction.

i presume the rivet is a regular "pop" rivet (not Avdell etc?)

 

i have just had a look at a few of ours and none of them seem that slim, another way around it is to get a small bit of bar with a hole drilled up the middle that you can slip over the rivet and providing the shank on the rivet is long enough, should still pull tight

 

Will try this route many thanks

 

Sorted works! cheers for that mate

 

no problem
