41 00... Setting Blind Rivet Nuts And Bolts
- Studs welded as standard are always replaced by blind rivet bolts.
- Drill holes (0.2 mm larger than the outside diameter of the blind rivet nuts or blind rivet bolts).
- Blind rivet nuts and studs must have a special coating for anti-corrosion purposes (sourcing reference: BMW Parts Department).
Use the blind rivet nuts and bolts supplied in the case of the manual riveting tool for steel only!
- It will no longer be possible to set a blind rivet nut if the drilled hole is too big. In this event, set a clip nut (sourcing reference: BMW Parts Department). This nut tightens itself automatically when screwed to the component.
- Insert blind rivet nuts or bolts and TIGHTEN DOWN WITH RIVET TOOL .
- Seal blind rivet nuts and blind rivet bolts with SEALANT D1 (risk of corrosion).
