E-bay Punch-Flairing Tool
Posted: Sat Nov 19, 2022 3:29 pm
I won an E-bay auction for a 1.75" punch-flairing tool. It arrived just in time for the cold weather which curtailed my wing trailing edge epoxying plans. The tool works just fine and I managed to punch and dimple 19 1.75" holes in the seat back and bottom in less than 2 hours. If anyone needs to borrow the tool, I'm happy to loan it out for only shipping cost .. warning it is heavy.
I also managed to install the #6 rivnut inserts into the tabs for the cockpit flooring and seat. This should allow easy removal for covering and maintenance.
My small contractor's torpedo propane heater does not do much for raising the temperature in the hangar/shop. I have a 25K propane heater due in at Home Depot by Monday. Should really help.
