Setting Blind Rivet Nuts And Blind Rivet Studs
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Studs welded as standard are always replaced by blind rivet studs.
- Drill holes (0.2 mm larger than the outside diameter of the blind rivet nuts or blind rivet studs).
- Blind rivet nuts and studs must have a special coating for anti-corrosion purposes (sourcing reference: BMW Parts Service).
Use the blind rivet nuts and studs supplied in the case of the manual riveting tool for steel only!
- Insert blind rivet nuts or studs and tighten down with the riveting tool.
- It will no longer be possible to set a blind rivet nut if the drilled hole is too big. In this event, set a clip nut (sourcing reference: BMW Parts Service). This nut tightens itself automatically when screwed to the component.
- Seal blind rivet nuts and blind rivet studs with sealing compound (risk of corrosion). Refer to 41 00... Overview Of Expendable Materials
