- Refer to repair instructions for rivet size.
- Position bores for blind rivets in accordance with specification in repair instructions. If necessary, carry over the positions of the blind rivets to the new part.
- Drill holes that exceed the outer diameter of the blind rivet (example 0 4.2 mm with 4 mm blind rivet and 0 6.8 mm with 6.5 mm blind rivet).
- The edge of the hole must even on both sides. If necessary, sand down and even out surfaces (e.g. edges of punch rivet connections). Deburr bores.
- Apply adhesive.
- Insert blind rivet. If necessary, remove adhesive that has emerged.
Position blind rivet tool vertically. Use rivet head extension if accessibility is poor.
