Hi. The rv 7 rudder rear stiffener rivets touch each other on the sides (not on top of each other) and only just…..but enough to see they impinge on each other before touching the AEX wedge. Most of my rivets are .038 to .045 thickness and a few down to .036…..one or two .033 but I was not going to remove them as more damage than good would result. If those rear most rivets were .050 and .122 wide they probably would not touch. Vans say “it’s totally acceptable to over set the rear rivets to avoid contact”. I think they would have to be squeezed to .025 or less to avoid it…..thoughts?
Yes one rivet has a small bevel on it which I did to avoid contact as I thought I’d have to drill it out anyway……leave it?
I could use my squeezer on the rear rivets to ease them all down a tiny bit.
