Hi Warren=0D
=0D
The solution to this problem is if you can not buy from vans is to purchase
the plate aluminum and using the bad one as a template remake the part
again this might be hard to but is is a solution I have used myself when I
have stuffed up which has been a couple of times it was hard work but
successful in the end.=0D

Hi Guys,
Question for all, on my wing rear spars, on the 470AD4-5 rivets for the
aileron control plates ( I think 907D and E) I had some trouble with the
rivets bending over while squeezing. No doing the left rear spar I didn't
seem to have that much trouble, but on the right spar I must have bent 7 to
ten over. I finally just squeezed a bit then drove and bucked the rest of
the way. Seemed to get better control driving them anyway. Funny thing is
I tried both my Taco squeezer and one that I had got from ATS when I built
my emp., with the same results. Is it maybe because these rivets on the
plates should be 4.5 instead of 5 or is there some technique that is
escaping me? I kinda remember having this problem some when I built the HS,
but ended up using the rivet gun then also.
Any good suggestions?
Thanks,
Terry 90680 wings

Terry,
There are two possible reasons for bending the rivets.
1. The rivets are to long for the application.
2. The squeezer is not square with the rivet.
Either one would cause the problem you are describing.

Hi Warren,
I do not intend to represent myself as an expert but my experiance has been #
4 rivets are better dealt with , with the rivet gun. I think it takes enough
grunt to squeeze this size rivet with a hand squeezer that it is hard not
twist the tool while your squeezing. I don't have the problem with my pnuematic
squeezer.
Keep on trucking.
