Never dump questions, sometimes I am aprehensive about asking (that human
rejection fear we all have), but it's better to have peace of mind I think.
Anyway, here is a question I sent tech support on the center section of the
fuselage. If it helps others Great. I seem to find myself scratching my
head at alot of steps in this process, I hope it's common to all of us the
first time around.
Question:
Terry Hobert Builder #90680
On the 9A Center Section referencing Dwg 16.
The callout for the rivet for the F-904G Center section vertical bar
is a AN426AD4-14. I used the rivets provided in the bag and the
inventory did indicate they were 14s. Looking at them they do appear to
be 14s.
After drilling, deburring and then driving the rivets - it appears that
the shop head really isn't thick enough to meet the usual standards. I
even drilled them out once and tried re-riveting making sure everything
was tightly clamped up, etc. Same results. Is this only because the
rivets function as to hold the bar in place until the bolts are placed
in final assembly and torqued up? Or should I get some 15 length rivets
and use them?
Answer from Tech Support Vans:
Just leave them, you were right about their function, just there to
hold the bar until the 'real' fasteners go in.... DON't drill them out
again... (:>) Tom

Sheesh.... If you got a shop head at all then yours is better than
mine. I had basically no shop head. I asked Van's as well and got the
same answer.
