Setting Blind Rivet Nuts And Blind Rivet Studs
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2013 BMW 135is, 2013 BMW 135i, 2013 BMW 128i, 2012 BMW 135i, and 2012 BMW 128i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- 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
