 |
|
Getting ready to do the nutplates in the wingtip for the landing light, nav/strobe light and the clear shield that covers them. Reading the instructions it makes no mention of HOW to buck/squeeze the rivets in these nutplates. What is everybody doing to get these rivets in? Can you buck the fiberglass? I don't believe I can get my 3" squeezer on any of them..........all suggestions and pictures welcome! Thanks in advance for your ideas guys.

For the clear cover, I went the conservative way and bought
3/32" pop rivets and pulled them. I did mine after paint which
was the biggest reason, but after doing it, I'd recommend it...
your right...they'd be hard to rivet without breaking something.
As for the landing light ones, I didn't use those lights so
I can't comment on those....maybe the same thing?
