Here's a yoke I made to finish squeezing the trailing edge rivets in some of Van's later models. The lower "foot" is adjustable to account for different trailing edge angles within the model spread it is designed for. Also, there is a "stop" at the back of the foot to insure the proper "address" of the rivet (because of the angle involved).
The process (at least for me) is a two step affair:
1. Start the "squeeze" with 3/8" dia. (or smaller) straight faced dies to start the bucktail w/o it beginning to "clinch". Squeeze just enough to get the upper edge of the tail almost flush with the skin.
2. Finish with EZ-SQUEEZY making sure to properly "address" the trailing edge square on.
