Hey All,

I am getting ready to install my static ports and the plans call for a pulled rivet through the skin, punch out the mandrel and install a plastic tube onto the shop head of the rivet. That is a bit ghetto fab for me, so I obtained two 8/32 panhead stainless screws that have been drilled through the center and the head has been ground smooth.

Here is my question. How high should the lip be around the port? Should there even BE a lip?

Some people have told me that they have had errors. The setups have been various and some are raised, others are flush while others have leading edge spoilers on them.

What is the mystery in these little devils?

What should I do to make them as accurate as possible?
