Dumb Q. on wing tips

[az_gila]

What tools do you use for the #6 dimples for the wing tips?

When I built my -6A I ensured that there was enough clearance here since IIRC the pans called for 1/8 pop rivets. Since the kit was not a pre-punched one that was relatively easy.

The clearances here are too small for a regular dimple tool.

I?ve shaved down a female die for that type situation.

I?ve shaved down a female die for that type situation.

But what about the rest of the tool that holds the female die?

I?m honestly not sure. But I think I used a pneumatic squeezer, ?backwards? (e.g., male die in the ram arm, female die in the fixed arm.).

I used my manual squeezer. No modifications.

Vice-grip dimpler!

I used my hand squeezer with the yolk ground back to even with the die.
