SERVICE GUIDELINES:
• Aluminum repairs should be performed in an area protected from steel working areas, and tools used in
aluminum repair should be quarantined from steel repair tools.
• Replacement Self-Piercing Rivets (SPRs) are the preferred replacement during repair for original SPR
locations, where feasible. Blind rivets are the next preferred replacement for original SPRs. In some cases, solid
rivets may also be used as a replacement for SPRs. The figures will explicitly call out which rivets are possible.
• Replacement SPRs are to be installed adjacent to original SPR location.
NOTE: Do not install replacement SPR in original SPR hole.
• Blind rivets may be installed in original SPR holes, after they are reamed out to 6.5mm. Be sure to grind all
surfaces of the flange smooth prior to blind rivet installation in original SPR locations.
• Flow Drill Screws (FDS) are to be replaced by blind rivets only. The original location of the FDS is used, but
reamed out to 6.5mm.
• Rivets may be removed by drilling, grinding, or SPR gun set up as a rivet removal tool.
• Using heat (not exceeding 425°F) to loosen a rivet bonded panel should only be done when all panels in the
joint will be replaced or separated and new adhesive applied.
• Flange preparation for adhesive is to grind to clean metal with 80-120 grit, clean, and then apply the adhesive,
spreading it out with an acid brush, covering any exposed aluminum.
• Clecos are an excellent way to hold the panels into position when fitting and drilling rivet holes.
