The plans indicate that the 805 should be countersunk on both sides for the AN 426 rivets. I don't understand what this means. How does one go about driving the rivets on this assembly? I imagine that the shop head of the rivet somehow nests inside the bottom countersink, but I don't see how to drive the rivet down into a "funnel" shaped hole.
