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...

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.
