1/8-inch squeezer cup to set 3/32-inch rivets?

Did most of you use a 1/8-inch squeezer cup to set the two AN470AD3-9 rivets on the pitch trim servo pushrod? If so, did it come out OK? The RV-12 tool list doesn?t include a 3/32-inch squeezer cup, perhaps because it's not needed?

Thanks
 
AN470 round head rivets can be set using a flush set on the manufactured head.
It is specified as allowed in the Mil Spec

I would recommend you don't use an 1/8" cupped set. Because of the additional depth, the set might contact the material with the manufactured head fully up inside the cup.
