Tailwheel spring/F-811 Riviting to skin

Well Known Member
I am at the point of riveting the tailwheel spring/F811 assembly to the bottom skin. My question is - what is the best way to 'hold the work'. It almost seems that you would need 4 people, 2 to rivet, 2 to hold the work.

Ideas?
 
F811 to Bottom Skin

I clamped the F811 upside down in my vise, then clecoed the bottom skin in place. Worked fine riveting by myself using a tungsten bucking bar (thin enough to buck each tab on the F811 without dinging the skin).
Good luck,
Mike
