| Subject: | Upgrade kit and Solid Rivets |
So I've got the upgrade kit on hand. I've removed the solid rivets from the center
section and the left wing and I've removed the angle on the top of the wing
spar.
Soon I'm gonna have to put it all back together and I need some advice.
There's no one around that has a rivet gun and I've never bucked rivet one, so
I'm in the position of having to buy the tools anyway
I'm actually leaning toward a rivet squeezer instead of a gun/bucking bar.
it seems like the learning curve is way smaller with a squeezer than a gun, and
since I'm teaching myself on my spars I'd like to just get it right the first
time
The squeezer shown is a Atlantic Aircraft Tools Tandem Alligator 3" Deep Rivet
Squeezer 1/4" Rivet Set Dies Its a tandem cylinder unit which means it has enough
oomph to squeeze the spar rivets and the jaws have enough room to reach around
the angles at the top of the spar
used its about $300
Comments ??? Concerns???

Sound's like the best way to go for you-, good gun and bucking bar are go
ing to cost that much plus knowing to use it. with a squezer you'll set it
by looking at the other rivets,and you don,t need another person to buck fo

Can anyone help direct me to drawings for Alieron Gussets 65W2-5 and 65W2-6
?
I am doing the mods on the left wing and the gussets weren't supplied in th
e mod kit. I seem to recall seeing the drawings for these gussets some tim
e ago=2C being a modification to the alierons.
If I can get the size and thickness of these gussets I'll make them.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
