Below is the email I sent Van's (Insert standard its the weekend I want an answer now blurb) Sorry for the picture size, I'll try and figure that one out:
While finishing up step 7 on page 10-27 my rivet squeezer was not fully on the tail of the rivet when I squeezed, resulting in the flush set digging in to the aft side of the F-01412 bulkhead. Close examination of the resulting bend/gouge/ding/crease did not show any cracking. My question is: Has the structural integrity of the bulkhead been compromised? If so are there any work around other than replacing the part?
I should also note that the damage only affect the F-01412B and not the mating F-01412A.
