Default Help with Canopy Assembly

On page 38-16
I am looking at the C-01404A piece, it is presently a #40 hole, yet a NAS 1097AD3-3 pulled rivet is supposed to be used. That rivet is a #30 size. No where can I find the instructions to drill those holes to #30. So what is the correct size?
Maybe a different rivet is to be used?

Then Step 17 says to dome rivet on the shop head side of the rivet. The instructions call for the NAS rivet to be used and that is a pulled rivet.
I have not done that to a pulled rivet. Is this possible? Does not sound right to me.

What have some of you that has passed this point of the build done?
Thanks much

According to the info I have found a NAS 1097AD3-3 rivet has a .093"-.096" shank diameter. A #40 bit is 0.9375".

Any rivet that has AD3-xx is #40, AD4-xx is #30.

Of course, I have been wrong before (frequently...according to my wife...)

A NAS1097 is an ?oops? rivet isn?t it?

https://www.lasaero.com/products/article/Z04F10ZZ1

So an AD3 in this rivet would be 3/16? diameter and go in a #40 hole but would have a smaller manu head than normal? (Same an an AD2 rivet would have I suppose).

Thanks for your response guys.
I will look again at the bag that the NAS1097 is suppose to be located, maybe I looked incorrectly. Tomorrow

Those are not the oops rivets. They are small shop head AD3 rivets. They are often used to place a nut plate because they can be put in with a small countersink of thin skin as in this thread: http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...ad.php?t=13948

They are not pulled rivets; they are solid.

For me it takes about 10 turns with my debur tool to make the countersink they require.

Thanks for the info that they are not pulled rivets. The instructions now makes sense.
