I am trying to set the most forward countersunk rivet in the center HS-905 rib in the horizontal stabilizer. I can't seem to get anything down in there to properly buck the rivet. A friend who has done his horizontal stabilizer lent me a makeshift long thin bucking bar but I can't seem to get the leverage behind the rivet to get it properly set. I have the skin placed in the jig to keep it stabilized. I'm using a swivel mushroom set from Cleveland Tools in the gun.
I tried searching through the archives but HS905 or 905 or HS-905 wouldn't return any results.
Can anyone offer up some suggestions to what worked for you? Any store bought bucking bars that seemed to work? Do I need a different rivet set?
