Tough rivets on the tailcone.

Having a tough time getting some rivets installed on the tailcone. I can't figure out how to get a bucking bar on the tails. The locations are the back side of F--01411 and the forward side of F-01412 - at the bottom where they attach to the lower skin. What have you guys done to set these? Sorry I can't post pictures but it's page 10-18 steps 7 and 8. Any advice would be great.
 
For a few of these type locations I had to fabricate a specific purpose bucking bar, i.e. one for each rivet location. Nothing fancy , just as heavy as possible that would fit the spot with the correct angle. I have quite a few standard bars and a bunch of custom made ones.
