The good, the bad and the damn ugly
The stainless steel firewall is not like aluminum sheetmetal when riveting with the mushroom head on the rivet gun. Aluminum sheet metal flexes nicely and moves with the riveting gun and doesn't (usually) show any sign of dents after riveting. Stainless steel sheetmetal is totally different! It jes' luvs to dent! So, now matter how careful I was, I could see the imprint of the stiffener from behind in the firewall around the rivet. Also, I wandered off the rivet on a couple of sessions and made nice dents in the firewall. It's not really that bad, but it still bugs me. The weird part is that on those dents, I was able to push a good part of those "off the mark" dents out with my finger from behind. Now all the rivets are nicely seated and strong.
