Brief Description:  Nosegear Assembly, Part 1

While mounting the rubber pad on the nsegear cage, I found the included rivets far too short, as you can see in the first picture.

The second picture shows a comparison of three rivets. At the far left is the rivet that I actually used, which is a SD612BS. The middle one is (I think...it's been a while) a SD68BS. The right one is the included rivet. As you can see, the included rivet (right) did not even go all the way through the rubber pad and other parts...it would not have pocked through the hole even before it was compressed. The middle rivet just barely pocked through, but not nearly enough to actually grab on and hold once it was compressed. The left rivet has room to expand outside of the hole and thus create a strong bond.
