I’m wanting to remove arms etc from one regulator to duplicate another set for opposite side. My question is what are they called and where can you get new or similar. Or has anybody done something different to reattach when this fastener was used.
I tried editing title but no luck. Maybe with stupid title more will look and either give good info or will remind me of proof reading before submitting.
those are called semi tubular rivets. I have some punches for forming them like this. https://www.hansonrivet.com/tools-machines/solid-rivet-tools-machines/hand-rivet-clinchers/
Don't those have a shoulder so the part can still rotate after being riveted? In the past I have ground off the riveted end, punched them out. Then reused them and welded the end back. But if they are worn badly that won't work. Let us know what you find.
Yeah, they are probably shoulder rivets. But they do make em. Might be tougher to find, let us know how you do.....
I called Hansen rivet and they do carry semi tubular shoulder rivets. I’ll remove one and see if they have in stock on Monday and post update. And as far as lathe no I don’t and yes I would entertain if the right one would fall my way. Don’t need very often. Space would be issue also.
You can find the tabular rivets at the bigger Ace Hardware stores with all the nuts & bolts/specialty. HRP
"Are you inferring that there are people here than do not own a lathe???" They must be the "half nuts"!
Got rivets out. It is a complete shoulder that was pressed. I guess I could weld a washer then peen between tight and loose.
