Just received mine from Hitchcock's. Just wanted to see how the rivets get installed, no clear instruction in the package. This looks easy enough, just pop each one in by hand. Thanks.
I got only three complet Push-Rivets. Thats means I will do both, "stick-Fit" and "Push-Rivet" Two Push-Rivet on each side and only one in the middle. should work ok. Thanks OTR for the very quick delivery. 👍
Hi Chris, yes you use the stick fit pads as a gasket and also to locate the part whilst you drill it. You just don't need to use as many because you're not relying on them to hold the part in place.
Clear instructional video but just like yourselves, who has a clamp with long enough arms to clamp in the central position suggested? I don't want to use the rivet method as I have a white mudguard.
I was planning on using the adhesive method, but prior to fitting the adhesive pads drill the holes for rivets. Then use adhesive pads letting it cure for 12 hrs. Then maybe use the rivets as 'belt & braces'. OTT?
You could certainly do it this way Marty, it will leave you with extra holes though if you end up deciding not to use them. You could always drill afterwards if you decide the stick fit isn't enough?
Are the extenders speficially designed and tested to not come into contact with the radiator when the fork is fully compressed? Especially on high performance bikes with large radiators?
Hi Phil, Yes that''s right. It's important to note that our products are always designed on the standard bike... so any aftermarket parts fitted can affect clearances and fit of our products without our prior knowledge or having had chance to test ourselves due to the sheer volume of aftermarket options that are out there for each model.
My Fender-Extender has just arrived for my Vespa - looks like a really well thought out design. Just a question, are the rivets in 2 parts? i.e. front and back
A pity Pyramid couldn't be arsed to reply to you. It doesn't look like they are two-part rivets. I'm doubtful they will hold fast. Did you fit yours and if so, has it stood the test of time, pls?
Apologies chaps - we've just come back to this channel after it being dormant for ages! We're going to try and step up the content going forwards and get plenty more videos created :D The rivets are 2 part rivets, but you use them as if they are one. The outer shell goes into the whole first (4mm) followed by the rivet pin which causes it to expand and hold. Obviously this is much too late and surely you are now sorted!
Simply because for the push-rivet fitment, there is no need to create full contact. There is only a need to create a gasket for the push-rivet fitment. When using our Stick-Fit version, more are used for maximum adhesion.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Am I missing something eer now, or am I supposed to guess the drill size? Do you tink the drill size really matters at all, at all , obviously not it seems as you do not mention it in your video Michael . Regards to ya all now, Paddy O'fook
