For the AN470AD4 rivets that will secure these ribs to the bulkhead, I could have the manufacture head on the aft side, which puts the shop head on the web of the thicker bulkhead, but requires setting with an offset rivet set. Or, I could put the manufacture head on the forward side, which allows me to use a standard rivet set but has the shop head on the thinner rib flange.

Which way would you do it?
Edit: I ended up putting the manufacture head on the rib side. Due to lightening holes I was able to squeeze all but 8 rivets. The rest with the offset rivet set went fine. Would have been a bear if I needed to drill one out, but thankfully I didn't need to.
