My bags got emptied and I am having a hard time identifying the AACQ-4-4 for the canopy. These are the rivets that go through the plexiglass. I found countersunk pull rivets CS4-4. Are these the same thing? These are the only countersunk pull rivets that I have that are long enough. Thanks

Tip!

I know this has been covered before, but, never use a power riveter on the canopy. You want to pull the rivets by hand. The plexiglas doesn't like the "shock" of a power riveter.

?

What part of the canopy are you riveting? My understanding was to use AN6 screws instead.

Thanks for the help. I forgot about the picture of the rivets in the manual. The only place there is #6 screws is where the plexiglass fastens to the canopy side skirt. Everyplace else is riveted.
