I've been trying to rivet the dreaded HS404 and 405 to the front spar. I've been able to get six of the eight rivets in after a LOT of effort and drilling out bad rivets, but two of the holes are slightly enlarged now and I either need to get larger diameter rivets or go with Cherrymax rivets. I hate to go with larger diameter rivets and try banging them since I've had so much trouble with the AN470AD4's. I can't imagine using a stiffer rivet will be any easier. So, figure I need to consider using Cherrymax.
I have no idea what size to get or what tool(s) I would need, so any advice would be much appreciated. The rivets being replaced are AN470AD4-4 and AN470AD4-5, but the holes are now enlarged slightly so that AN470AD5's would probably be what's needed now. Need the Cherrymax equivalents.
I've looked at ATS webpage and I see different nosepieces, pulling heads, a grip gauge, and several different sizes of rivets, and I have no clue where to start.
I have a pop rivet gun that came with my Isham tool set, but I've yet to use it, so don't know if I need a different head for it or if it will work as is.
Any advice or points to references would be greatly appreciated.
