Aluminum Trim Package For Engine Compartment
Quick question regarding the instillation of aluminum panels going in the engine compartment?
I heard some guys were using some type of adhesive along with rivets to hold the panels in place. Any of you ever hear of this? Your input would be appreciated. Jeri |
I Just used pop rivets, but you might check Aircraft Spruce for glue... That's where I got my Al-oooo-min-e-um, and they have lots of cool aircraft quality stuff.
Good Luck! Jon P.S. Check my gallery for Pics. |
Aluminum Trim Package
Jon,
Thanks for getting back with me. Like you, I'm using just pop revits. It's just that some guys, at a car get together, a couple of weeks ago in concord, were saying they had heard some guys were starting to use an adhesive, and I was wondering if anyone had used it? I really can't see any real purpose in it. I have never heard of anyone having a problem with pop revits. Thanks again. |
Alot of the panels on aircraft are put inplace with adhiesive and then riveted for strength and to prevent the panel from working loose do to flex and vibration. I purchaced my kit partially put together. I will be taking it all the way down to bare frame and putting all rivets in wet {with sealant} with a film of sealant between panel and frame . This will cut down panel rattle to a minimum and seal out moisture. Hope this helps Berm!
