Deviating from the plans

:eek: In installing the tip ribs, I have decided to deviate from the plans. Rather than having pop rivets visible on the outside of the tips, I will epoxy the tip ribs in, then run a strip of fiberglass along the rib flange onto the inside of the tip. Any input??:eek:
 
6 blind rivets are used on each side because of tight access for installing the 426 rivets.
If you fill the center hole on the head of the MK-319 rivet with something like JBweld and then sand it flush. After painting they are indistinguishable from the regular rivets.

Bonding should work if you use the right adhesive and surface prep, but it will likely be heavier and more work.
