Getting ready to attach the tail cone to the fuse. Before doing so, want to complete a couple of items in tail while it's still separated.
I'm using the stock Van's static line (pop rivet style), but am unclear about instructions. Below is a pic of what I have done with the "T". The 2 sides going into the shop side of the pop rivet fit nicely on the T. But the 3rd leg that goes to the cabin area, I first slipped on the 1/8" OD clear tubing, then pushed on top of that the 1/8" ID poly tubing, and seems like good tight fit. However, instructions call for a 1/8" ID clear sleeve. All I have is a 1/4" ID clear sleeve (see clear tube sitting on bench).?? Not sure if I use it? If so, how? (double sleeve over the poly?)
Also, any tricks to driving mandrel out of rivet would be helpful. I'm a one man show today, don't have a 2nd set of hands at this time.
I know this can't be that hard, just confused at this point. Any advice would appreciated.
