Hi,
I have a buddy who just aquired a RV-4. It required some rework of the canopy by the previous owner and THANK GOD he had already trimmed and fitted and drilled the canopy.
Really all that's left is riveting the canopy and skirt.
Since we don't have the plans, I'd like to ask a few questions about Vans rivet callouts on these parts.
Specifically, I'm looking for:

Specifically, I'm looking for:
- The blind rivets attaching the skirt to the canopy and frame. (Required all the way around the canopy.)
- Blind rivets that are called for underneath the front of the canopy. (Maybe 9 on each side. If I remember correctly, they're in an arc.)
- Blind rivets that are near the rear of the canopy on the vertical segment of the supporting canopy frame. (Maybe 7 - each side)
Thanks for your help. If you know of a place online where this info is published, I'd appreciate that too.
