All, I had a prior post with questions on this topic. Thanks to everyone that helped. I'd like to provide some help to those of you about to tear your C2 heater box apart. I took the box completely apart (removed all rivets). I completed the glass work and the cleaning of the metal. I then tested a rivet to rebuild the box and immediately made a mess of it. I thought who uses rivets all day long in the area and then made a trip to my local airport with the grass runway. The Owner was restoring an old single engine. I showed him the rived from Dr. Rebuilt and he immediately told me he had the solution.
We tested the rivet with an Aircraft Brake Lining Rivet Set. It made a perfect set. It can be ordered from Aircraft Spruce in Ga. The price is $16.75 plus shipping. The number is 877-477-7823. I ordered one today.....
This should take the worry out of rebuilding your box.
