Thread: Removal & Fixing (Hi-Shear or Hi-Lock) Pin & Collar Rivet

Hello All,

I would like to replace a previously butchered head board on a style-side tray with a good head board from a tray with mangled sides.

The front and inner sides of the rectangular wheel arch - storage box is held on by what could be a type of two-part solid rivets. They have a dome head on the cargo side. However, towards the cabin side they have a metal cylindrical collar. The collar fixes around a series of ring-like "grips" on the body of the rivet that appear to be similar to the grips on flooring underlay nails. The grips are a series of rings that are not connected like a normal screw thread is.

Other than cutting them off with a thin blade on an angle grinder is there any other way to remove these rivets, without damaging the sheet metal?

Who would supply these rivets and the tools to fit them in Australia?

Okay, the Land Rover parts catalogue has identified them as Part Numbers: 79283 A/R (Pin), 79293 A/R (Pin), & 79289 A/R (Collar) - are they a type of solid rivet or are they something else?

What does the A/R stand for?

Further investigation revealed the proper name for the pin and collar rivet is either a Hi-Shear or a Hi-Lok Pin Rivet. More details of what I found are over in the Technical Chatter Thread under Collar & Pin - Hi-Shear or Hi-Lok Rivet Removal & Replacement

This is a similar type rivet.

With a sharp chisel & a hammer you should be able to shear the head off.

G'day Colin,

Thanks for the links I just posted the very same information up over in the Technical Chatter link.

It would be either: tail-less unlike the Land Rover product Huck Magna-Grip®; or with the tail protruding past the collar it would be the Huck Bob Tail®

I posted the YouTube video clips over at Collar & Pin - Hi-Shear or Hi-Lok Rivet Removal & Replacement

It is very interesting stuff to research!

Hmmm, it might even be the "original Huck bolt" the Huck C6L® Accessed 7th of August 2014 from, http://www.afshuck.net/us/en/Product...Bolts/C6L.html originally made "50 years ago ..." [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYRTPzGvGXg[/ame]
