Aircraft rivets

[spikey]

I've been looking at some pictures of the re-skinning of a WW2 aircraft wing and am puzzled by the rivetting technique used.  I thought that they used what amounts to ordinary pop rivets, but in the picture (which I can't find now) the fixing process involves some kind of narrow cylindrical thing perhaps a couple of inches long sticking up from the wing at each attachment point.  Anybody know what that's about?

Like these perhaps?

So that's what they are!  Thank you, kind sir 🙂

They are handy things to have when doing sheet metal work

They are Cleco’s (fast to apply gripper pins) and hold the metal in place until riveted. They are very strong so it’s fine to grip together parts and even let sealant set with them in (if needs be), until riveted.

Take a look at Avdel.

They do all manner of rivets for a multitude of applications.

No connecton. Just a satisfied user.

I must have seen millions of various rivets over more than 30 years of working with them.

Hmmm, that reminds me that I once was an aircraft rivet-counter!
