Bernd:
John,

That is a very neat idea. :bugeye:

It sure will give your engine a unique look with those screws. I like it very much. :thumbup:

Your ER32 tool setup has given me an idea. I wonder if a setup like that could be done with a C5 collet? (sorry :offtopic: I know)

Bernd

madjackghengis:
I think Bernd understated it just a tad bit, those bits are stunning and really show off the levers. I echo Bernd's question and idea about a five C version of such an attachment. I hope your journey for the plumbing parts goes well, I'm itching to see this engine run. cheers, Jack

Jasonb:
Comming along well John, though you could have saved yourself an hour or two :D

Though They are not easy to come by in small sizes and quantities.

I take it the rivits are only drilled a little way in so that the shank does not expand within the rod holes and lock everything up? Just enough to retain the pin.

How are you using the bifurcated rivets in a model application my take on that type of rivet is that they are used to hold leather or such . correct me if i am wrong but I remember them as rivet split up the shaft leaving two legs , that you can open out and fold over

from OSX dictionary

bifurcate verb |ˈbīfərˌkāt |
divide into two branches or forks:
adjective |bīˈfərkāt, ˈbīfərkit |
forked; branched:

Bogstandard:
I have tried those before Jason, and they don't quite look right, just like any other mass produced fittings. Plus these are shouldered bolts and plain shanks, not usually available, so I make them myself.

I used the reshaped heads a fair amount when I took Elmer's basic mine engine up a level or two.

Both square and star headed were used to cover up bearings that weren't on the original build.

Yep, the bifurcated rivets are drilled to exact depth for just gripping onto the backing washer and not the other two plate parts. They have to swivel against each other as the angle of operation changes.

Bernd & Jack,

In all honesty, I think a 5C fitting would just be too high to be plonked on top of an RT, especially as you would have to have some sort of closer for them.

I have a large collection of 5C collets, but I think whatever chucks and fittings I have now for the RT and dividing head is perfectly adequate for what I want to do.

But I do suppose you could use something like this.

Stuart,

You are quite correct in your assumption of it being a two legged rivet, maybe I should have called it a semi tube rivet.

I was just using a term we used in the forces when working on aircraft, where the two legged versions would never be allowed, except maybe by some of the fabric trades, but even then, I would have expected them to use the same as I used purely for safety's sake.

They make disassembly very easy, just drill down to the bottom of the hole with a larger drill and the whole lot comes apart.

C-o-C at the bottom to explain use.

John
