A hand rivet tool is cheap and if you ask around I’ll bet someone will have one. That said, did you try an “ez-out”. Also not expensive and works great if the bolts aren’t “frozen”

The bolts prevent the boom vang fitting from moving back and forth. Also, I plan to use the same length bolts, if possible. If I need to go slightly longer for the RivNut, so be it. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Sent: Monday, October 31, 2022 12:08 PM To: Stus-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Marek Dziedzic <dziedzi...@hotmail.com> Subject: Stus-List Re: Vang repair >From what I know, the RivNuts are better for shear load (rather than for pull). Also, be careful how long the bolts you use. You don't want the bolts sticking inside the boom (if you have any lines going there). Just a few cents Marek 1994 #122 "Legato" Ottawa, ON
