Maybe I'm missing something obvious so I hope you guys can help. Getting ready to install the sky bolt receptacles and I just don't understand the design. The rivets that hold the receptacle to the flange need to be flush, so I dimpled the flanges. If I don't dimple the receptacle there's obviously a gap. If I disassemble the receptacle and dimple it, then the barrel doesn't fit without grinding. So what's the right way to do this? I can either have a gap and a weak connection to the flange, or spend the next few weeks modifying the fasteners to fix an obvious design flaw?
Edit: the receptacle is .030" thick, so countersinking isnt an option.
