need4speed Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Im looking for a tool that is regularly used in the aircraft industry (maybe panel-beating as well?). I have no idea what its called. Its used for closing 2 panels together when rivetting the panels together. Aparently it is inserted into the hole of the 2 panels and you can screw them together so that there is no gap between the panels when you rivet them. Does that make sense? I dont know how to describe it better. Can someone help me as to what this gadget is called, and maybe where i could get one? Thanks Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
