I removed one of my steps for a crack repair and can't find the call out for the rivets to put it back in. Thanks

The instructions (https://www.vansaircraft.com/pdf/step_instructions.pdf) specify either solid AN rivets, which in this case would generally be AN470AD4-X. You may need to experiment to find the right length. They also say you could use MD-42-BS blind rivets.

Rivet size
I just did this....used AN470AD4-5, but I also riveted in a .032 doubler on the inside of the skin, so a -4 may be ok in the areas without the bulkhead.

Hi Larry,
If you are looking for something to do Tuesday evenings we have a little get together at the airport (C09) we call Tail Dragger Tuesday, the name was shamelessly borrowed. We do allow Tricycle gear also.
