Taper-Lok Fasteners

Taper-Lok Fasteners

Taper-Lok Fasteners

(OP)
Hello everyone,
This is a repeat of a post I put in the aircraft engineering forum, but as it is "fastener related" I thought I would put it in here as well. Thanks.

I have just joined the forum and have to say this is a real gold mine of information and help/advice.

I would like to ask a question on Taper-Lok fasteners
Are Taper-Lok fasteners re-usable fasteners??

That is to ask, after the removal of a Taper-Lok fastener (of which could be of any particular diameter and possibly 1st or 2nd oversize)it is cleaned and visually inspected and found to be "visually serviceable", can this fastener be re-used?
Is there any information/documentation on this saying they are allowed to be re-used (and what if anything to be done to confirm the fastener is still serviceable) or is it that because they are an interference fit fasteners upon removal they are scrapped.

I hope someone can be able to spread some light onto this point and a definitive answer can be sourced.

Thanks and Regards in Advance
