Thanks - did a search but didn't find your post. I figured out that the offset rivet set I have is the same as double offset...

The offset rivet set is a creation of the dark lord himself. I was advised to remove the spring retainer and use electrical tape to secure it in the position I needed, which seemed to help quite a bit.

I remember those rivets. Not a place to get in a hurry. I used the offset rivet set and angled tungsten bucking bar like others mentioned. Shimming and taping to get the correct angle of the bucking bar is a technique I've learned recently and probably would be good to use in this situation.
The horizontal stab section of my blog has a couple of pictures.

Thanks Shawn - I just looked at your blog and the photos are very helpful.
