AN450 rivet spec

Fri Apr 28, 2017 11:16 am

We're in the process of replacing the tailwheel anti-shimmy brake friction pad on a BT-13, but am having some difficulty in locating a suitable rivet that meets the original specification. The Vultee engineering drawing shows an AN450D8B12 brass semi-tubular rivet. The main problem is that I haven't been able to find a copy of the AN450 spec, thus am not sure of rivet diameter and length.

Any help in locating the AN450 spec would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jordan

Well, of course, after I post this I was able to find the spec on the AirCorpsLibrary. 1/8" diameter, 3/8" long.
