Posted: Fri Oct 08, 2004 7:01 pmSpeaking of rivets. Does anyone know where to get the things that hold your pieces and holes in line temporarily while you put in the rivets. I have seen them in WW2 museums. They look kinda like metal syringe. D. TIllery

You will probably want to get the cleco pliers too. Notice they have pricing for 50 and 100 pieces. It takes a lot of clecos to make airplanes, we had a bucket full of them at school. By the time everybody got their shop projects going, the bucket was looking pretty empty.

Do you need the pliers to insert/remove them or can you do it by hand?
Thanks, D. Tillery

Posted: Sat Oct 09, 2004 12:07 pmThere are special pliers for them. The spring pressure is too much to do it by hand. The pliers are relatively cheap. I found this auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=11805&item=3844833223&rd=1
