I have given up on trying to buck solid rivets along the top of the gear towers. I went to Genuine Aircraft Hardware and found the 3214-4-4 Cherry Max rivets. They were offered in packs of 100...not so good for our needs since we need around 20 or so...
After explaining the need for smaller quantites for the RV-8 to them, they have agreed to offer the rivets in packs of 10. Go to the website here and you can locate them:
part # CR3214-4-4PKG/10
http://www.gen-aircraft-hardware.com/store.asp?alternate=CR3214-4-4
If you order the PB REF BOOK (Cliff Notes for hardware) they will throw it in for free if you plug in the promotion code GEARBOX
