[time-nuts] FE 5680A Warning Rivet / Screw

[Robert Atkinson]

Hi Rex,
Those fasteners are both "pop rivets" and screws. They are an advel design of light alloy rivet with an external thread and a hexagonal head on the die. They fasten with standard automatic riveting equipment but can be removed and re-installed with a allen (hex) key. They work very well.

I think those pop-rivets are actually screws with a small hex socket in the center. That's what was mounting one I got several years ago.
