More riveting prep…
I removed the rear spar and replaced it with a piece of scrap aluminum angle. It’s just long enough to provide some stability to the whole assembly. I put a 6 foot piece of black rubber matting under the assembly to help prevent any scooting around during the riveting session. You can get these 6 foot rubber mats from Harbour Freight. They’re a lot cheaper there than anywhere else. Tomorrow, I will remove the all of the end ribs, leaving the ones attached to the temporary aluminum angle. Then I will rivet each rib in place, one at a time, working my way from the middle to the end of the spare on each end.UPDATE 12/13/2006: After riveting this dude together I found that the aluminum angle was totally unnecessary. Also, the order in which I did the ribs is totally different than what I logged here. Look at the next page.
