    Default Flaperon Hinge Bracket Rivets

    Ref: Chapter 5, Section Q, Flaperon Hinge Bracket Installation

    For installing the 12041.101/102 rib reinforcing brackets, the manual calls for 91348.000 1/8" x 1/2" SS pop rivets. When I ordered the brackets, I neglected to order rivets, and Kitfox is closed for the holidays.

    So, can someone confirm that this [POP RIVET 1/8" SSD48-S SS RIVET] is what they supply?

    Thanks.

    BTW, in case anyone else can use it, here's my drilling template for the left side flaperon hinge brackets. Be sure to print it at 100% scale; don't let your printer scale it up or down.

    Those seem like the right ones. I just went and looked at my wall of rivets to see if I had enough to solve your problem. Looks like I do not have those, so they'll go on my shopping list.
