Watching a video of a restoration in Cameron Park CA of an early model 1943 F4U Corsair. Apparently Vought did not use blind rivets on the Corsair for tight spaces where conventional rivets couldn’t but used but rather they used “explosive” rivets. Fascinating, and I learned something today! There were many places on my RV where those would have come in handy!
20:30 talks about and then shows the application of the “explosive” rivet.
