I'm stumped (not a rare instance). I'm attaching the WD-1004 Nose Gear
Tension Fittings to the F-1048 Fwd Fusalage Ribs prior to riveting the
assemblies to the Firewall (Plans Sec 27-4 step 7). There are 50 AN470
AD 4-5 rivets that get set in this section . There are ALSO 8 AN470 AD
4-6 rivets that are the most forward (closest to the firewall) I can't
seem to figure a way to get a rivet gun on these 8 rivets, unless I move
the shop head to the other (inside) side of the rib. Anybody got have a
tip here?

Deems,

You will have to trim the firewall stiffeners. Go up about 1" and over a 1/2" shaped like a 30/60 triangle, and trim it enough to get your offset rivet set on the head...it's a pain. I'll do a picture and email to you in a bit...dinner time.

Whoa there! Before you go trimming firewall stiffeners, check on page 27-4, Step 7. Van’s recommends you place the shop heads on the outboard side of the WD-1004 fitting. This recommended direction does not provide for the most finish look, but I always try to place the manufacturer’s head on the thinner material. In this case it is the F-1048-L/R. Van’s rarely specifies the direction of the rivet head but in this case they did. If you look at my page at the below link, I did a compromise. I followed the recommendation except the top three rows of rivets. http://wcurtis.nerv10.com/08fuselage/fuselage03f.html William Curtis http://nerv10.com/

William,
 
Sorry I may have been thinking about a different section, the area I was talking about is in the photo, it is the most forward rivet in the 1002/1003 brackets. I may have jumped the gun, the are your photos show I followed the plans regarding rivet direction and had no issues.

Deems,

Sorry I was thinking of a different area, William posted the correct respons to double check your rivet direction. My mind is still bouncing after riveting the 1002/1003 to the lower forward longerons. That is where I was refering to regarding the trimming of the stiffener. See later post for what I was thinking.
