I am about to rivet the main ribs to the spar web. However, the space between the inboard 4 ribs is really limited. The instruction says the shop head should be on the forward side of the spar, how to put the rivet gun in such a tight space? What is the best way to rivet at this location. Appreciate any input. Thanks!

its not that hard to do
They are probably the same as my 8. I used an offset rivet set about 4 inches long. The ribs can be move slightly to get my 3x gun in there. Then I reached in through the holes to pull trigger. Oh and I taped the set to the spring and the spring to the gun. This help keep the offset from rotating. I used electrical tape. Hope this helps.
