I'm having way too hard a time setting the rivets on the forward baggage door forward and aft ribs to the outer skin. I've tried several different techniques from just a normal flush set and bucking bar to back riveting with an offset bar from the back.
After some experimenting, my biggest problem seems to be the flanges on the rib pulling away from the skin while I'm riveting- I end up with a decent rivet but a gap between the skin and the rib. The pieces sit flush prior to driving the rivet.
Any suggestions for techniques to set these rivets properly?
