Getting set up for the riveting session

I used a 7.5 inch Rivet Shank that I got from Averys to put the rivet gun far back enough to where I wouldn't have to push the rib too far out the way to get the rivet in. I put medical tape around the spring to prevent scratching off the primer on the rib. I bumped up the pressure to 65 lbs for this riveting session. I have found that the longer the shank, the greater the pressure needed.
