From the instructions, surfing the builder sites, and this forum, I do understand that the rivets for the rear horizontal spar are a little shorter, but Van's says they are fine. I don't mind if they aren't perfect, I trust Van's, but here is my question:
Since the rivets listed are a little short, do I:
1) Squash it wider to the proper diameter on the gauge?
2) Squash it taller, so it fits the height on the -4 shop gauge?
My vote is #2 since there is a little more "meat" holding things, but I'm just a little confused. I did two rivets with the pneumatic squeezer, but then stopped thinking I better check with others before I go wrong
What do you think guys?
Thanks!
