I worked years in aviation there are so many fasteners that common people don't know about and thats a shame cause the best bolt can be smaller and still be stronger than the hardware store option.
Nice seeing performance automotive enthusiasts looking at and accepting the aviation sourced solutions that have been proven for many many years.......Many more where that came from......EAA is a great place to learn about tried and proven solutions for the aviation enthusiast that transfer directly to the automotive enthusiast. Thanks for the great content as usual Tim!
Tim Thank You for taking the time to explaining and showing me/us the differences and choices of hardware Some of it I knew, but not all of it! Learned something today !
Nice video. A blue Chevy II was at Detroit Autorama that you built. I got to see it up close. You do amazing work. This is the first video I watched here, and I definitely subscribed. I will probably remember this video forever, lol. You seem cool to hang out with. The people around you are lucky. Have a great weekend.
I rivet the deck on my recovery truck on, and am straight sick of it rattling, coming loose and re-riveting .. price of these rivets from a reputable supplierr is plesantly cheap, thankyou. Very keen to try em, just ordered 500 lol
Fastners, see also the Carrol Smith book " Nuts, Bolts , Fasteners and Plumbing Handbook " This is part of the " XXXX to Win " book series , you figure out the unofficial and apparently approved by Carrol Smith, name of the book . . . . ..
Hey Tim, great video as always. Have you guys considered playing around with SPRs (self piercing rivets?) We use them in the auto collision industry on pinch weld flanges. They leave both sides of the flange a lot flatter then even an avex rivet, almost like a spot weld. I'm not sure how well they would work with carbon panels or lexan though, or if they would work at all.
I agree with its a better product. My question is why wouldn't running a washer on the backside of the rivet, give it just as much bite on the material? Especially if you crush the backside with a hammer.
Although if Shawn Ellington calls he very well get the pop rivets tossed into a large box with a ton of packing peanuts? (insert sarcastic laughing here)
In dirt racing, we’ve used “double” and “triple” pull rivets for decades. They are nearly all manufactured in China. I’m extremely doubtful those rivets aren’t manufactured by one if the majority Chinese companies. I almost guarantee that they are. So many of racing’s prestigious brands import directly from China. I’ve seen the import manifests and spoke to the MFG’ers. We even found cranes that do manufacture in the us outsourcing some of their inventory and bleeding it into the domestic quantities. Many of the knock of products are a result of the original company manufacturing overseas and not from a third party copying then.
Are you asking how to identify a avex rivets county of origin? or are you a China operative try to infiltrate America and brainwash us all into thinking that China makes quality products and there our friends?
@PursuitofSpeed lol so you had to tell yourself I implied there was zero demonstration of the product, just to find a way to impress yourself? And you're not even ashamed to be this dumb? Lol Now grab your helmet and crayons, it's time for bed.

Learned something today !
wow ,,, I never knew that , and Ive been using pop rivets a long time.

Thanks for sharing, never heard of these.

man thx 4 the info ! You invest your time and thanks to you we become smarter, I appreciate you very much
Tim i enjoy all your videos, thank you for the info. Its always informative and i learned something
Every time I use a pop rivet it breaks the mandrel way too high. Im newer to race cars and still learning. Love your videos

Great advice.
It would be nice to see tests done on both tensile and shear strength of each rivet.
EAA has tons of information about this
@@RobertFothergill-u1z Where? I’ve seen precious little data on cheap pop rivets.
The details set the best apart from the rest!
I agree with its a better product. My question is why wouldn't running a washer on the backside of the rivet, give it just as much bite on the material? Especially if you crush the backside with a hammer.
If you have access like that, then a smash rivet may be a better option. This is mostly for instances where you don't have access to the back side.
I looked at these after this video. Where do you source yours from?
Good video but show the topside of the AVEX when compressed with sheet metal.
Looks just like a button head screw.
Although if Shawn Ellington calls he very well get the pop rivets tossed into a large box with a ton of packing peanuts? (insert sarcastic laughing here)
Great info

How do you know that Avex isn't made in China
They probably have knock offs but we don't buy those.
Are you asking how to identify a avex rivets county of origin? or are you a China operative try to infiltrate America and brainwash us all into thinking that China makes quality products and there our friends?
🤣🤣🤣 Great video Tim,as always!
First 👍's up Tim McAmis thank you for sharing 😊
You sure you were 1st? Why celebrate it? Is that a major life achievement for you?
I love the candor! lol
Me too! You should watch "Tims China rant"... Tim for president!
@@jerrycoon3369 I have.
"China rants" the best!
Thanks for the advice! Definitely not gonna buy the “cheap piece of shit made over in China” 🤣
I don’t understand the logic of a video spent verbally describing an object that you have right in front of you, instead of just showing it.
Clearly you lick windows, there's a couple demonstrations throughout
He's a salesman, old school when only phones existed

You must have watched for less than a minute.
Thank you Tim for showing us all plenty of examples supporting your argument. Very clearly explained and super honest. Keep up the amazing work.
