That's Charlotte.   Andrew Homan (Andy) Member Username: Andy Post Number: 45 Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Monday, March 15, 2004 - 11:37 pm:    Bob, go to a metal fab shop they usually have them. be really nice like I was and maybe you can use it for free.   Big Ed (Sandman) Member Username: Sandman Post Number: 96 Registered: 02-2004 Posted on Monday, March 15, 2004 - 11:49 pm:    Bob...maybe you were thinking of my girlfriend and you wanted to type charlatan! That little whore! But I digress... In Charlotte you have many small airfields. Any of these will have airplane mechanics. These mechanics, given the appropriate six-pack, would loan you their wife's diaphram. Try one of these colorful charactors for the riv-nut tool.

I know a few techs @ the Concord Reg Arpt I'll try that, but most aircraft hardware is SAE.   Pugsly (Pugsly) Senior Member Username: Pugsly Post Number: 334 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, March 16, 2004 - 12:37 pm:    These guys have a really nice tool for $19.95 http://mdmetric.com/prod/rivetnuttool/rivetnuttool.htm http://mdmetric.com/prod/rivetnuttool/Rivnut.gif   Eric (Epuffy) Member Username: Epuffy Post Number: 161 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 16, 2004 - 09:55 pm:    No need for a tool, it's easy. Just buy a couple extras in case you mess one up (they only cost like a $1 each anyways). Use the nut, bolt, washer thing as mentioned above and described in the archive. I did it first time around without a hitch.
