Default Rv-7 Elevator Constriction Questions

I think I'm getting close on wrapping up the right elevator, but once again, I've got a couple of questions.

1. Does this bend look OK? The instructions are a bit vague as to exactly that the finished bend should look like.

2. How the heck do I rivet the two circled rivets? I can't seem to find any way to get in there at all with a bucking bar?

Thanks again for your patience and your help,

Jason

1. Looks very good to me.

2. Those 2 elevator skin-to-counterbalance skin rivets get set prior to sliding the elevator understructure between the skins. I'm pretty sure it spells it out in the instructions.

2 - Use blind rivets here. MK-319-BS. They are tiny bit bigger than a #40 hole so you'll have to open them up a bit - 7/64.
