I got to this point once before and I messed a few things up, so I threw away my work and started over. Now I'm going to get things right along the way.
I've been back riveting 426-AD4's and the shop head is really flat, clean, round, and looks great.
Now I'm moving to the 470-AD4's w/bucking bar. I only drove a couple of them because I wasn't convinced I was driving them correctly. The shop head on these rivets seem to have a minor cup in them. AKA: The center of the rivet seems to be driven more than the edges.
Q1) Is that normal for hand bucked rivets?
Q2) Could I have a pressure problem? Currently using 60 PSI.
