I am at the step where you blind rivet the HS front spar to HS707/708. Plans call for LP 4-3 blind rivets. I don?t have any. Before I call the mothership, is there a substitute? I have CR 3213-4-3 and CS 4-4.
Thanks in advance
 
From the Rv12 MM (maintenance manual) version 3.1, page 17-2:

?Rivets
AN470AD rivets may be substituted for specified LP4 rivets.
AN426AD4 rivets may be substituted for specified CS4 rivets
Cherry Max CR series rivets may be substituted for any AN470AD rivet or LP4 rivet.
CCR rivets and solid AN426AD3 rivets, used for attaching nutplates, may be used interchangeably. AN426AD3 rivets are preferred for strength wherever they can be accommodated.?

The complete manual can be downloaded from Vans? website.

From the mothership

Sterling at Van's:
"If your plans call for LP or CS rivets that is what we recommend. The industry part number that is what we call the LP4-3 rivet is ?GSMD41-43APG? and the CS4-4 is ?GSMC42-44APG?."
