Then, when you go to shoot/buck the center nose rib rivets, remove the inboard ribs and reach your arm in to buck. )_( Dan RV-7 N714D (finish) http://www.rvproject.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Thorne" Subject: RV7-List: Horizontal Stabilizer Rivets > --> RV7-List message posted by: "Jim Thorne" > > Is there any reasonable way to buck the rivets in the center rib of the HS? I looked at some other RV's and they have used some blind rivets on part of the bottom skin. The plans say these are optional, after trying to get all shapes of bucking bars in there it doesn't appear "optional" to me. Looks like I'm headed that way also unless I am missing something. > > Jim Thorne > RV7A QB > CHD Arizona > >
