Pretty much at the end of my rope here. When riveting the nose rib and root rib to the front spar, I can?t seem to get the rivets to set right. I?ve now had to re-order the parts twice after enlarging the holes when drilling out the rivets. I?ve been bucking them with the gun after not being able to get the squeezer with a 3? yoke in there. I?m using the correct rivets that are called out in the plans yet my rivets are folding over or the flange on the rib is flexing and creating a gap between the rib and spar flanges. Been using a CP 3x gun at 55 psi with a tungsten bar. Only set I can get on the head is the offset.
Looking for some ideas, suggestions etc... how has everyone else set these rivets? Maybe a different yoke on the squeezer? Any help is much appreciated.
