I installed the HS-706 tip ribs in the horz stabilizer of my 8 and as I was starting to rivet them to the skin I realized I had forgot to dimple one of them. The rear spar was already riveted on so my easiest option was to drill out the 2 AN470AD4-4 rivets holding the tip rib to the front spar to get the rib out and dimple it. Now I need to know which blind rivet to use in place of those 2 rivets since I can't get a bucking bar in there now.
Please help...
I have the following blind rivets, but will buy whatever is needed if I don't have it already:
AD-41-ABS (these look too small for a 1/8" hole)
BSPQ-5-4 (I would have to enlarge the rivet holes to 3/16" I believe to use these)
MK-319-BS (these look like the best option of what I have on hand)
However, I also have my wing kit, so I suppose there could be some rivets in that kit I could "borrow" if necessary.
Thank you for the help,
Mike
