Tip-Up 705G Angle

[skelrad]

A long time ago, I did the fairly common approach of notching the outside edge of the 705G angle (that nests up under the seat back brace) to provide some room for the skin/longeron rivets. Welp, it turns out my notches are still too small to make solid rivets work. I know it's not unheard of to just use pop rivets for the last 3 rivets that the angle interferes with. Do I need to use Cherry Max rivets for this, or is something like a CS4-4 adequate given the location (I thought about MK-319BS, but they don't have a long enough grip)?

Brandon, I got right to the end on my -7 and found the same. I removed rivets and the angle to just buck the rivets. It took about 20 hrs to get it all done, but was really happy when it was reassembled. Sometimes on has to bite the bullet and do what is needed to make it right. JMO.
