I am occasionally uncertain which direction to put in a rivet. Sometimes it is called out (especially for flush rivets where it's usually obvious) but sometimes it is less obvious. Please refer to RV-14A plans page 07-05, rudder section where you assemble the reinforcement plates and bottom rib to the spar. It specifies AN470 rivets in Figure 2, but leaves the builder guessing which side gets the manufactured head.
Is it convention that the manufactured head goes on the side of the rivet callout in the plans, as in Figure 2 of that page, or is it builders choice if not specified?
TIA for any advice!
