So that's a beginner question: I have tried several times to set one of the rivet assembling HS-702 with HS-404 and HS-405. Now the hole is too big and I can not set the rivet. Is there any solution? (the rivet is an AN-470 AD-4) Thank you very much for your answers. Emmanuel. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:12:33 PM PST US From: "William Slaughter" Subject: RE: RV8-List: empennage rear spar riveting First, get a rivet squeezer to use instead of the rivet gun. Select an over length rivet, and gently "pre-squeeze" it to make it swell slightly in diameter until you achieve a decent fit in the hole. Trim to length as required, then squeeze. Use the squeezer everywhere you can. William Slaughter RV-8 Fuselage almost finished.
