center section spacers
Posted: Sat May 31, 2008 3:43 am
Two spacer-related questions:
One, does anyone have a set of center section spacers (the 1 7/16" simulated spar dealies) that they're done with and could let me borrow?
Two, I tried to rivet on the thick spacer bars that get held to the aft center section bulkhead with a pair of AN426AD4-14 rivets, and the rivets are much too short. I had to drill them out a couple times and start over, and now the holes are enlarged very very slightly, but it's enough that over that massive length the little bit of rivet I do have just swells up inside and leaves ZERO length to form a shop head. I don't have any longer rivets on hand... anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to fix this?
