Default Best Bucking Bar for Rivets Behind J Stiffeners

Hey- working on riveting up the tail cone on my RV-10 project and trying to figure out what bucking bar would work best to get at the rivets that are behind the J stiffeners. (see pic below)



I have a Tungsten bar with a sloped end, but that won't get down far enough. Trying to figure out what shape works best here before I order the wrong one.

Thanks,
Jason

I have one that came with my Avery tool kit that worked perfect for these and other tight spaces. I'm at the same point in my build and have both the tungsten and this one sitting on the table while I'm finishing up the right side skin!

Thanks - that's the one I thought would work, but wanted to make sure.

Why not back rivet those? I did on my 7.

Harbor Freight has the same bucking bar as the Avery one, but for about $8. It is just a hunk of steel!

Maybe it's not clear from the picture, but there is no way to get a back rivet set on the rivet (the J channel blocks access)
