<p><strong>BOOMS FISHING FOCUS ON FISHING TOOLS AND TERMINAL TACKLE </strong><br /> We insist on making fishing easy. <br /> <br /> <strong>Customize your own unique kayak to how you see fit! </strong><br /> Our pad eye kit is excellent as an attachment point for seats, tie down points for accessory straps, <br /> guides for rudder lines, and many other uses, also can be used on anything that can be drilled through to an opening to allow the rivet to work.<br /> <br /> <strong>Advantages </strong><br /> Compared with pop rivets, tri-grip rivets spread wide with three "legs" instead of just a small "head"as usual pop rivets. <br /> When tightened, the aluminum sleeve expands into 3 legs that hold securely and being all aluminum, they will not rust or corrode. <br /> Weather-resistant. Compared with metal pad eyes, nylon pad eye will never rust, thicker and don't have sharp edges as usual metal pad eyes. <br /> <br /> <strong>Details </strong><br /> Pad eye: Whole length: 1.85" , Hole diameter: 3/16"<br /> Rivet: Whole length:1 1/8. The diameter of the head: 3/8". <br /> </p> <p> <strong>Installation </strong><br /> You need pad eyes, tri-grip rivets, a rivet gun, a electric drill and a marker. <br /> Make a small mark you are going to install the pad eye and bring in the pad eye as a guide. <br /> Drill the first hole, insert the rivet into one side of the pad eye, making sure that the exposed shaft of the rivet is pointing up. <br /> Insert exposed shaft of the rivet into the nozzle of your rivet gun and push it into the hole, <br /> make sure you have the pad eye position correctly and give the rivet gun a few squeezes, <br /> always keep the muzzle of the rivet gun flush with the top of the pad eye, so that when the excess rivet breaks off you have a smooth surface. <br /> Repeat the process with your second rivet. Bottom silicone sealant recommended, not included. </p>
