Setting Blind Rivet Nuts And Bolts

• Studs welded as standard are always replaced by blind rivet bolts.
• Drill holes (0.2 mm larger than the outside diameter of the blind rivet nuts or blind rivet bolts).
• Blind rivet nuts and studs must have a special coating for anti-corrosion purposes (sourcing reference: BMW Parts Department).

Use the blind rivet nuts and bolts supplied in the case of the manual riveting tool for steel only! 

• 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 Department). This nut tightens itself automatically when screwed to the component.
• Insert blind rivet nuts or bolts and TIGHTENING DOWN WITH RIVET TOOL .
• Seal blind rivet nuts and blind rivet bolts with SEALANTD1  (risk of corrosion).
