Has anyone seen "smoking rivets" in the area where the cracks the subject of the S B are on the rear spar? This has been reported on a local RV9A but I have not seen any mention of it in the inspection reports on the Forum.
Thanks, Brian.

RV6, 730 hours, some aeros, no cracks.

So...

I ordered the parts for my "in progress" wings to incorporate it now.

Build Log Entry

I am a little torn on how one would accomplish this now and not interfering with riveting the bottom skin and perhaps the inboard most aileron gap fairing rivet in the center of the spar.

I believe one could simply use pulled rivets here...but if someone could help met get the "order of operations" figured out before I get there...I'd be grateful.
