Default Wrong dimple for CS4-4 Pop Rivets

I just discovered that CS4-4 pop rivets use a different dimple than AN426 rivets. I've almost finished my tail, and so far I used a dimple die for AN426 rivets for all the CS4-4 pop rivets I've used so far. I noticed that rivets were not quite flush like the AN426 rivets, but assumed that was just how pop rivets were.

How bad is this? Any suggestions?

Red face Your not alone

I did the same thing on two of them on each side. They are just going to set a little high. No problem.

Angle is different on the CS4s but a lot of folks use the 100 degree dies and live with them sitting a little proud. Cleaveland and others sell a 120 degree die set for them and they will sit flush if those are used.
