Our pad eye kit is excellent as an attachment point for seats, tie down points for accessory straps,
guides for rudder lines, and many other uses, also can be used on anything that can be drilled through to an opening to allow the rivet to work.
Advantages
Compared with pop rivets, tri-grip rivets spread wide with three "legs" instead of just a small "head"as usual pop rivets.
When tightened, the aluminum sleeve expands into 3 legs that hold securely and being all aluminum, they will not rust or corrode.
Weather-resistant. Compared with metal pad eyes, nylon pad eye will never rust, thicker and don't have sharp edges as usual metal pad eyes.
Details
Pad eye: Whole length: 1.85" , Hole diameter: 3/16"
Rivet: Whole length:1 1/8. The diameter of the head: 3/8".
Installation
You need pad eyes, tri-grip rivets, a rivet gun, a electric drill and a marker.
Make a small mark you are going to install the pad eye and bring in the pad eye as a guide.
Drill the first hole, insert the rivet into one side of the pad eye, making sure that the exposed shaft of the rivet is pointing up.
Insert exposed shaft of the rivet into the nozzle of your rivet gun and push it into the hole,
make sure you have the pad eye position correctly and give the rivet gun a few squeezes,
always keep the muzzle of the rivet gun flush with the top of the pad eye, so that when the excess rivet breaks off you have a smooth surface.
Repeat the process with your second rivet. Bottom silicone sealant recommended, not included.
