Also has anyone used Cherry Max for this ?
I am stumped so I will move on to something easier like the CANOPY ! LOL .
Thanks J.R.
The best way to solve this problem is to use the countersunk cherry max rivets. I can't remember the part number. I looked at many RV8s before I decided to use them. Lots of builders do.

I have installed the "top frt fusalage sheet" with the luggage cut out and have come to the last 16 rivits to buck (8) on rt. (8) on lt.. These are the ones at the Top of the Landing gear Towers . With the Break lines and the fuel vent lines installed ,they are near impossiable to buck ! Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated .

First I did order my rivits from General Aircraft Hardware but I don't think you would want to put the whole plane togethet with them !
I ordered 30 rivits at the cost is $47.93 plus shipping ! Ouch !
But I am very glad to have them for this application .![]()
Like an old IA Friend used to say " MONEY IS NO OBJECT IN AVIATION " LOL
I'm just glad you had them and I could get them at this price but even at 1/2 price I don't think anyone would want to put a Van's Kit together with all Cherry Max. LOL
My question related to blind rivets in general...not just Cherry Max. As an alternative to the rivet gun and bucking bar theatrics. I searched the forum but did not find it discussed.
