Sorry for the barrage of questions! However, on the -9 HS....on the inner most rib (the angled one), I had one hell of a time shooting/bucking those three rivets that attach the front of the rib to the front spar. There was not a good way to get a bar on them, and the squeezer yokes wouldn't fit either. I have a couple of rivets that just don't look good. When bucked, the rivets appeared so long to begin with, that I don't have a good looking shop head. Not folded over, but not pretty in any respect.
Any suggestions? Or better yet, do you know if it is feasible to use a blind rivet in there? I just don't want to mess with any structural strength, but I have shot multiple rivets, only to have to drill out every one! Any suggestions? Again, the #8-length rivets just looked really long to start with, and it is tough to get a nice shop head with the angled space.
Thanks!
