Scott, sounds like you may know the terminology better than I do. All I can say is it is listed as a SD-42-BSLF pop rivet. I don't know what the the SD or BSLF signifies as to the components of the rivet. I have people go to great lengths, and some very diminished lenghts, to get satisfactory static ports. Sure, you can come up with something that functions properly. I just looked the prices up at Van's. The rivets cost .05 and are listed as having a large steel head with carbon steel shank. As you can see in prevously posted picture, http://rvflying.tripod.com/static2.jpg , the head is finished somehow which provides an appearance similar to the surrounding alclad alum.........oops, better not say that.........surrounding surface material in which it is fastened:-). So, for a dime you can have static ports that are flying on over 3000 airplanes. The entire static system, which includes 5' of 1/8 clear, 20' of 1/4" OD polypropolene, 2 .25x.125x.125 Tees, 1 elbow, 5 plastic tube inserts and one tube Tee can be had for a whoppin $18.50. Static system run to your KR instrument panel over a cup of coffee!! The thickness of the KR fuselage would be a very good candidate for the use of this rivet. I just about didn't post this as one might think it was too much metal related. If I offended anyone............................screw it:-)...........it's KR related. Like I said, I would have liked to have known I could have had nice dual static ports on my KR for a lowly dime and five minutes work. The phone number of "the company" which will supply you with either the rivets or the entire kit is 1-503-678-6545. Once again, this isn't the only way, just another way.
