Extra Rivets?
 

Do the kits ship with a few extra rivets or do they have the exact number? I'd like to practice a couple rivets on scrap to see if my dimpling/countersinking skills are up to par, and to have at a couple before I do the real thing. I don't feel like counting all the rivets in the plans and counting how many are in the rivet tray to see :)

My RV-7A is almost done (less than 100 rivets left?). I've got a bunch of left over rivets. I suspect Van's puts in subkits with rivets by weight.

You'll have plenty of rivets.

The only ones I ran short on were some AN3s that were longer, like the 5 and 6 and longer. Practice with the 3 and 3.5 and you'll be fine. I have a bunch left. Hope I didn't forget anything.
