Hi all,
I am getting ready to mount my HS to the fuselage, so I decided to re-do a few of the rear spar rivets that had damaged heads (manufactured side due to bad universal die).
After drilling out the 6 or so rivets that I wasn't happy with, I noticed that the shop heads had set off to one side. When installed, the shop heads on these rivets measured fine, and the offset is not visible, so you can't tell the shop head has set off center. Photos attached below.
This has me thinking - How many of the spar rivets are like this, and should I drill all of them out?
Any ideas or thoughts appreciated!
