Two questions really...
First, as for the std blind rivet installation...it wasn't until after I put everything in that I noticed the instructions were for a -6, and the actual location for a -7 is different by 5/16" horiz & 1/2" vertical. Obviously this is easy to fix...but has anyone else done this or have any idea if that will really amount to a noticable amount of error. Although I have a couple of other 'rivets to nowhere' - this one will clearly telegraph my idiocracy!
Second, since I presume I know the answer I'm going to get, should I go with a Safe-air static system rather then the Vans std pop-rivet? I actually bought the system and have it sitting in the garage, but opted against it after reading an article by Stein, who specifically said 'you aren't smarter than Van' - even saying many that use the fancier setups eventually switch to the pop-rivet to reduce errors in the system. Really?
Thanks in advance for any help.
