The Lair

I'm excited for those hangers but I looked at my rivets today and am dreading that.

 

The rear hangars suck a bag of dicks.

 

Yours have helium in them Bill, remember?

 

Unless you have a plasma and a good air hammer with an assortment of chisels and punches

 

Are you volunteering ?

 

Nope. I only have the air hammer but it works well even without the plasma. But you need a compressor with a lot of volume of air as it is an air hog! Min 10 gal tank and even with that it'll use it up pretty quick.
On my 63 weekend that and a plasma will be used quite heavily in getting the old stuff off.

 

I was looking at those rivets last night and I think a small cutter and like 30 cutting wheels might get the job done.

Here's my method for em and what I would do if I had to do it at home again.

• Use flap disc to grind the heads off all 4 rivets
• Chisel the stock hanger off
• Grind the rivets smooth with the frame
• Use ball joint press kit and a 2" grade 8 bolt to press out the bottom two rivets
• Use a drill and drill out the top two rivets

edit: and you don't need to remove the leafs for any of this. Just unbolt them from the hanger obviously.

 

Good morning Jaimster. Whats on the agenda for today?

 

If you take a cut off wheel and cut an asterisk into them you can then take a normal cold chisel and knock the pieces off. Just make sure to cut down until the cut-off wheel touches the bracket that way you know you got them deep enough. If you take a MAP gas torch and heat up the area around the rest of the rivet it makes taking the drift punch and knocking them out easier after you get the head off.

 

Sounds time consuming, but possibly less frustrating. What do his instructions say to do?

 

They say to just drill out all the rivets. Fuck that noise.

And it's really not too time consuming, except the drilling part. Grinding the rivets and getting the stock hanger off only takes like 10 minutes.

 

5am-6am Gym is done & over with.

8am-4pm Work at Work

4:30pm-7:30pm School. I need to do a 7-9 page paper on healthcare ethics

10pm-10:15pm Bedtime story & hit the sack to get ready for the next day

Nothing special just the usual. You?

 

I got tired just reading that.

 

I have to schedule everything unfortunately. There is only a certin about of hours I can stay vertical so I have to space & time everything.

 

If my grandpa was alive I'd tell him to call you and he could give you 20 pages easily. One of his big things was if people owed him money from visits, surgery, whatever at Christmas time he would send out a Christmas card to every patient and those that owed he would tell them their bill was paid in full. I never knew he did that until one of his old Nurse's told me. Him and Mima kept it from the family pretty much until yrs after he retired.

Damn your kids stay up late school nights my kid is in bed by 7:30 Fri and Sat she gets to stay up till 9 maybe 10 (and that's a big maybe)

 

Sounds like #RandyFab is up to the challenge

 

You, Sir, are a machine.

 

Need these at work. The Navy issue just doesnt get the job done.
