I need to buy clecos to do the fuselage build. Any suggestions on how many should I get? I counted over 340 rivet holes just in the side skins! Stuart |

You don't need one for every hole, every other will get the job done. I usually drill and cleco using #40 clecos in every other hole, then come back will a 30 drill and cleco in every other hole. A good rule of thumb is to start any hole with a 40 drill and enlarge to the finished size. I think at one time Bob and I had somewhere around 400 ea. of the 40's and 30's between us. I also have a small collection of 5/32, 3/16, 1/4 clecos. I would think 100 to 150 would get the job done. |
