41 00... Setting blind rivet nuts and bolts
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 MINI Cooper Paceman, 2015 MINI Cooper Paceman, 2014 MINI Cooper Paceman, and 2013 MINI Cooper. 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 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 TIGHTEN DOWN WITH RIVET TOOL .
- Seal blind rivet nuts and blind rivet bolts with SEALANTD1 (risk of corrosion).
