I've ordered my upgrade kit on Friday 23rd and Zenith shipped it on Monday 26th.
No waiting time.

Is anybody using the Harbor Freight #97857 air tool for pounding
solid rivets? It comes with a straight rivet set. I don't see bucking
bars though....

Hi Steve,
I've been using one of the Harbor Freight guns with a sharpened and smoothed
chisel to cut the heads off spar rivets. I drill the head first and then use
the power chisel to remove the remaining parts of the head. I have another
rivet gun with a pin installed to punch rivet stems out of the spars. This
one is a more expensive aircraft riveter with a 3x or 4x designation - a
much more powerful gun than the Harbor Freight one with a higher quality
trigger.
I opted for bolts (mostly AN4s) to hold the new spar parts together rather
than the large solid bucked rivets. I felt more confident in my skills to
employ standard aircraft bolts and nuts rather than learning how to buck
rivets on those huge ones that are extremely critical to the safety of the
plane.
Perhaps two years ago I would have worried about the impact a pound or two
of bolts might have on the cruise speed of my plane. Today I am more
concerned about having a safe plane than the last knot or two of speed.
