How do you re-use a peened alum rivit? 1. The pin is steel and not aluminum. 2. The orginal pin fits in the hole like it was was made for it. And it was. 3. A bolt is not the correct diameter. Which means a sloppy action. 4. The threads on a bolt will over time gall the povit surface of the handle. Now the repair bolt that AA sells for thier replacement flapper is better than a standard bolt because it has a large shoulder and few threads. But still not as good as the original pin. |
