It was bound to happen sooner or later. Measure twice, cut once.
I forgot to dimple a hole on the lower skin of my tailcone. I realized it AFTER most of the J-channel had already been riveted.
I've heard that its possible to dimple using a rivet gun, but I'm not sure I have the proper tools to do that. Aside from that, is there another good way to do this, or is it easier to just use a pop rivet? The mating piece behind the skin is dimpled - its just the skin that I forgot.
As far as tools go - I have my c-frame dimpler, my pneumatic squeezer and I also have the close quarters dimple set that uses the pop rivet tool. I just don't think you can get enough pressure with this - not to mention that the flanges are behind the skin
Thanks
