Anyone know how to reach the most aft, outboard, an rivets on HS-01231c-1 rivets with a squeezer? What yoke works? I have 3, including the flange yoke from Cleaveland, and cannot reach them.

This is the "gusset, stabilator hinge" part from the Horizontal Stabilator section.
I don't have the plans with me right now. But I can tell you that I was able to do everything with a squeezer and a 3" yoke.
I think this gusset plate was part of the SB that came out a year or two ago for the stabilator .. mine was a retrofit, not new construction.. so my instructions were probably a little more complicated than for you with new construction.
The most aft-outboard rivets in that location are LP4-3, you should have no need to get the squeezer around those.
Your clue here is the final drilling, vs the callout for the 470AD3-3.5 rivets. In step number 3 you are directed to final drill #30 the holes indicated. A #30 hole would be too big for an AD3 rivet.
For the gussets it's pulled rivets outboard, solid rivet inboard.
