Probably an old question from a new -10 builder. How do you squeeze or set the rivet on the lower right side of the rudder (You know the one). I am considering using a blind rivet on both sides. Anyone? Thanks!

Left a red piece of tape over the hole waiting for someone to make a good
sugggestion before I use a blind rivet also.
I even back tracked thnking that these could have been riveted out of
sequence but that wouldn't have worked either.
Waiting!

Hi Dave,
There are a few approaches that work. I took some meat out of the center of a bucking bar, leaving about a 3/16" thick surface on either side that I could slide in between the rib flanges... allowing me to buck the rivet (my tech counselor was quite impressed). I'd take a picture of it to show you but it's on loan to another builder.
Avery also sells a yoke with a tapered head that will work... but you're looking at $85.00.

Dave, I was shown how to use a thin nose yoke that was ground down a fraction of an inch. Using this I was able to squeeze the first rivet without a problem. For the other side it took two of us, one to squeeze the rivet and one to flex the spar just a hair. I was able to get the very edge of the yoke in the gap and used the edge of a wide flush set on the manufactured head. I would squeeze the rivet a hair and as it set I was able to get the yoke farther in the gap, until I was able to fully set the rivet. Sounds more painful than it was. The hard part will be finding the yoke.

That bar, without some modification, will not fit that space.

Used the 15000 bucking bar at the below link:

The small pointed end is great for tight spaces.
