Sorry if this question has been addressed before; I may have missed it. I'm in the process of fitting the nav/strobe lenses to my wingtips and I'm curious how others have set the rivets in the nutplates inside the tips. There's no way to squeeze them and the flush rivet head for the gun is too large in diameter to sit on the 5/8" step that the lens fits on. I thought about using the C-frame rod that has the set hole in it with a smaller flush head and try to hold it steady over the manufactured head while a helper handles the bucking bar duties(with as low a pressure setting that will do the trick). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanx.
