I'm presently riveting my flap bracket angles to the spar, ribs, and flap brackets. I've had no trouble with the inboard and outboard brackets. However, I am having trouble accessing the middle bracket AFT-most rivets that attach the W925C bracket to the W925A flap bracket and rib. (See picture attached--it is the row of holes that is at the top of the picture). There's no way to use a short straight rivet set here because of the angle and my 5" double-offset rivet set in the gun is too long to fit in between the ribs on either side of this middle bracket and still give me a good angle on the factory head. I tried one but creased the head right down the middle (again, see picture) and stopped to think about whether there is a better way. Any suggestions?
