Using Aluminum Rivet Nut Fastening Aluminum Sheets

First of all, choose the proper size drill to make the hole for the aluminum rivet nuts. The shank of the drill should match the body of the rivet for a good tight fit. The proper length for the rivet to hold properly and firmly should be approximately one and one half times the thickness of the rivet. The riveting steps are as following:

1.Insert the hex rivet nut into the drilled holes and make sure that the sheets being joined are drawn together.

2.Back-up the aluminum rivet nuts with a piece of steel and with the ball end of your ball pein hammer, spread the end of the rivet.

3.Keep doing until you have completed joining the sheets.

4.Smooth all rivet ends with a power tool, fine sandpaper or emery cloth.
