PA22 Aileron hinge

[Phil Hebert]

Hii Dear all,
I am a new member with a renovation project on a PA22-150.
One aileron has been separated from its hinge, several rivets pulled out, probably caused by an accident. Hinge has been controlled OK.

I did not find much information regarding rivet's material.

It is 3/32 diam, I am not sure about material.
My choice would be 2117-T . In someway it it a structural attachment.

But I find somewhere 1100 which is very soft for connecting a hinge top an aileron.

Expert advice would be appreciated. Exact reference if possible.

Welcome Phil, They are soft AN455A rivets. If you are doing a renovation I would suggest obtaining the drawings from the Short Wing Piper Club. Invaluable. https://shortwingpiperclub.org/produ...r-drawings-cd/

Thanks so much for prompt reply and suggestion.
Is there an other support (different from CD) ?

I believe it comes on a USB thumb drive now.

I just texted the Short Wing Piper Club president and he said the drawings come on a USB thumb drive now.

I don't know, I am way more motivated to spend more time for a donating member than someone who has been active on here for years and never donated. ��
