Kick Panel Vents, Left vs. Right

[lousyflyer]

I have replaced the rivets with 8-32 screws and locking nuts and also used pop rivets with backup washers.

Either way works just as well. Just dont try the pop rivet method without the washers, as they tend to pull through the thin metal without popping. They make a special washer for this purpose. Save yourself some time and head to a real hardware store. Or you can order a bag of them from Grainger, like I did.

I think there's about 480 washers left in my bag.
