Riveting HS-707 Nose Rib

[Patch]

Does anyone out there have pictures of rivetting the forward most rivet on the bottom side of the HS-707 nose rib. I have a 1x5/8x4 tungsten bar, but getting the hand in there looks intimidating.

I have done a search, but could not find anything.

Any images or descriptions would be appreciated,

Scott

Scott,

Check out this link - It's from Brad Oliver's site - http://www.rv7factory.com/log/050705.php


My wife bucked mine for me and she has relatively tiny hands. I'm in CT - in the Hartford area. Let me know if you need help getting it done.

Same goes the other way. I would be able to help you if you need an assist.

On my -10 HS, I bucked nose ribs without too much problem. I put a towel behind the bucking bar to keep it from bouncing into the skin on the other side. Mostly guiding the bar laterally with my hand (not pressing it into the rivet tail, which is not the best technique anyway) and shooting in short bursts, I got good results.

i stood the skin up on the floor and did it from above, way easier than flat on the bench
