Hi Guys. I need some advice from the experienced builders here please.
I am busy with the HS. The spar box assembly calls for 12 CS4-4 rivets to be riveted into countersunk holes.
I have done this but the rivets do not sit flush and the concern is that when the skin goes on it will not sit nicely as the rivets will protude under it.
The CS 4-4 rivets have quite big heads in that there is the angled portion of the head and then a verticle top compared to the AD rivets which just have the angled head all the way to the top.
I would just drill them out but I do not have enough of the rivets to replace them so the question is it advisable to file the head down or not? If so, how much could one safely file down without weakening the rivet?
