Grain mill BB once again

[SimoB]

Hey Guys,

Got some annoying news for those who have had their mills delivered. We where not given the screws to fix the hopper together. I have arranged them to be posted to me and I will post to you when I receive them

You could easily find something at bunnings if you can't wait.

Sorry about that. (im in the same boat)

 

[Phillo]

No need to apologise Simo. Shit happens. What sort of screws are they BTW?

 

[Donske]

I think you can pop rivet them, was mentioned earlier in this thread, I think I'll just do that.

 

[SimoB]

tiny little guys, somthing you can find at any hardware.. I think I will go down the pop rivet angle. That makes sense.

 

[Donske]

Seems safer to me anyway, it's never going to fall apart if it's riveted.

Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not an engineer!

But I think I can figure out how to pop rivet something...

 

[OzPaleAle]

Thanks SimoB, got mine today, don't worry about sending bolts to me, I just riveted mine.

Thanks Again for organising. :beer:

 

[Phillo]

Was riveting difficult OPA?

 

[OzPaleAle]

Na easy, I used some small cable ties on the 4 top holes to hold it together while I put the other 8 rivets in.
I did notice that I put the 2 sides without the lip on the inside of the lip of the other 2 panels thinking it is the stronger way but it made the 2 tabs that connect to the mill a little wide so it had to be convinced into the gap, so next time I would prob just put them on the outside as I guess there is probably not much strength required.

Here are some dodgy phone pics.

 

[SimoB]

Awesome I'm glad it worked out. Glad it arrived safely

Patience, Padawan. If the Force wills it, it will arrive. If not, the power of the blender is great...
