 |
|
I have a silly question. I started to back rivet the elevator reinforcement
plate to the skins and did two rivets with the size called out in the plans
and both rivets bent over. They appear too long. I did the math with the
two skins adding to 0.048" and the rivets being a 3/32 diameter. By this
calculation I need a rivet of 3.1 sixteenths in length. The plans call for
a 3-3.5. I shot a 3-3 and it was straight but border line on shop head
length.
Back riveting is supposed to be a no brainer, but why did two of them bend
over and on the second one, I really concentrated. Did anyone have this
problem?

Not necessarily a no-brainer. I have certainly found that rivets can
still be bent over.
A trick I use was one shown to me at my initial RV Workshop to ensure
that you are back-riveting straight down on the rivet. If you have the
set angled to the side you can very easily bend over a slightly long
rivet. Link below:

I think you should consider a set of rivet gages: one to ensure correct
length and the others to make sure the shop head is formed properly. Van's
does a good job of properly calling out rivet sizes in the plans but you
should be prepared to verify/change the size if necessary.
