Riveting Spar AD6s. Out of order, of course
I'm having all of the fun associated with working out of order. I'm modifying RV-4 wings that were completed to almost QB levels. I'm currently removing the big AD6 rivets holding the spar together so I can move/install the bigger tanks. As the bottom is already skinned, any riveting method ideas for bucking squeezing the AD6s? The unskinned side shouldn't be too bad. The far (next to bottom skin) side will have its challenges. Suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.
