Finally got to the dreaded (for me anyway) stage of riveting the forward top skin on. After reading posts and with the help of my wife, a friend, and two tie down straps, it went pretty well. That is until I got to the last several (aft) rivets on each side. Just no way I can figure to get even my small bucking bar behind those. Seems others have come to the same conclusion and use CR3214 cherrymax rivets. According to my measurements this morning, there are actually two lengths required. Where there is just the two skins plus the longeron a CR3214-4-4 works. But where the tabs connecting the top of the vertical angles (fwd and aft of the spar carry thru) connect to the longeron, an extra 1/16" is needed, requiring a 4-6.
I need 2 of each. I know I can get them at GAH but because of min. batch of 10 each plus shipping I'll be paying about 12 bucks a rivet. Would anyone who encountered the same situation be willing to sell me a few.
Thanks,
