Hi guys

Any advice on how to rivet the baggage floors to the bulkhead, especially the rivets close to the side skins? For the rivet gun I only have a straight rivet set for AN470AD3-X rivets and none with displacement (and apparently none of my builder friends has another one). The ones closer to the center may be squeezed I think...

thanks

Bulkhead rivets

Hi, I just finished this step last week, used 3? straight set with 3x rivet gun, worked great. Dennis

Set for bulkhead rivets

I used the offset rivet set in my 2x gun. They were fairly easy to set with the fuselage rotated about 45 deg.

OK, thanks. I have to try again. I had the feeling I couldn't shoot perpendicular because of the baggage floor...

I used only tungsten bucking bars for all riveting in my RV14. I think they are indispensable when the rivets are not very accessible.
