We managed with only minor mishaps until we got to the piece of angle that contacts the rear spar. Any hints on riveting this? Even my Avery double-offset set can't get square on the rivet head due to the body of the gun impacting the spar. I was thinking about sending away for a single-offset set, though the prospect of using it frightens me. Seems like it would be easy to jump off the rivet. (PS: The Yard sells some offset sets called "suicide sets", maybe I need one of those :) I don't see much about this in the archives, so I'm hoping there's an easier way I'm missing...
