Gang,
I'm slow building an RV-8 and I'm having trouble figuring out how to buck the two AN426AD4-7 rivets that join the F-820 Fwd Side Skin, through and into the WD-822 Landing Gear Box Weldment. I've removed the outer most bolts between the LG Box and the F-802G/H Fwd/Aft Corner Angles per the plans, but I still don't have enough room to buck the rivets. The problem seems to be the shape of the L.G. Box Weldment -- the turned up flanges inside the LG Box are preventing me from getting the bucking bar in position (the areas I've marked in blue below).
Any tips on how to resolve this problem?
Thanks,
Rob
