Hi again,
I'm now trying to rivet the leading edge ribs to the spar. The manual suggests AN470AD4-5 and -7 rivets, accessing through the lightenig holes to hold the bucking bar. Definitely a two person job. But even with the help of my wife, I can't figure how to correctly set these rivets. I've tried a few but we are not able to hold the bucking bar straight enough to have properly driven rivets.
I've read here and there that some are using blind rivets for this.
What blind rivets would be acceptable here?
I know not much about metal to simply guess what blind rivets can repalce these AN470 rivets. I've tried search but no good results.
Thanks for the help,
Alain.
