Cleco pins for Riveting
Posted: Sat Jan 27, 2018 12:33 am
Hi folks:
In case anyone is interested I found a source for 1/16" diameter Cleco pins. These (along with a pair of Cleco pliers) are pretty indispensable for aligning and then setting rivets in multiple layers of sheet metal.
The problem is that, generally, the smallest size Cleco available is 1/8" -- the more common rivets for hotrod or aircraft assembly. I managed to find 3/32", but still too big.
But a company called Tinman Technologies has Cleco pins in 1/16". They're not even expensive!
Here is the link... http://www.tinmantech.com/products/hand ... fasteners/
The part number is ZTC-K-0116. Don't forget the pliers! You will never set Cleco's without Cleco pliers!
Maybe this helps someone out!
Cheers, RPR
