Alternate uses for CCP-44 rivets
by Bryan Cotton » Mon Aug 11, 2014 11:34 pm
Adam skates aggressively. He busted a rivet on a buckle. Looked about the right size and depth of hole for a CCP-44.
I had a removable .020" shim in for riveting so there was not too much clamp up. First try the rivet pulled out of the plastic part of the buckle. Second try I used a drilled off head on the back side of the rivet to retain it. I had recently cleaned up the hangar, swept and everything but was still able to find a head after a brief search. Now I see the hand of destiny caused me to screw up that hockey stick so I would have that drilled off rivet head available. I feel better now.
And now, back to our regular scheduled program.

I know most of you are not of the bucking bar persuasion. I am the bucking bar king. Here I am using them to clamp down a quarter round I am gluing for a drawer repair.
