I put many hours into workin gon my tail this weekend and got to the point where I riveted the HS-411 elevator brackets around the Y-146 bearing. Using AN470 4-6 rivets, all were textbook except one looked rather short. I drilled it out and made sure to clamp the HS-411's tightly together before bucking another rivet. It was again too short. I can't figure out why the others are OK and the one is short. After drilling out two bad rivets the hole is somewhat enlarged. Should I use a larger rivet in there?
BTW - I primed the rear spar and reinforcement bars with Sherwin-Williams GBP-988 (thanks Dan Checkoway for the recommendation) The GBP-988 is a pleasure to work with. Goes on evenly and parts are ready to handle in about 15 minutes or less.
