Heating a blind rivet before forming a head.

Blind Rivets

Monday, October 25, 2010 by MC

In the corners of the boiler there is not room enough for all of the rivets to go through the mud ring. Therefore a number of them are threaded into blind holes in the mud ring and and then heads are formed on the outside.
