All right, I am a confused newbie. So please, help me out, here. I am told
that the correct hole for a 1/8" rivet is a #30, which is 0.1285". My
1/8" clecos, uncompressed or unextended, are measuring about 0.158",
rotating them in the calipers to find the maximum (diagonal) dimension.
I didn't have an experienced builder leaning over my shoulder when my
tools arrived, so I tried to figure them out on my own. Apparently, I have
been using the "wrong" technique, but I tried your suggested method, and
I cannot get the 0.158 cleco through the 0.1285 hole. Do you have any
further clarification?
