Riveted on the Aileron Brackets
The longeron yoke on the pneumatic squeezer worked great for the first 4 bottom rivets on each bracket, but only after I altered the end of the yoke where the dimple die is inserted. Using the scotchbrite wheel, I ground down the sides on the end of the yoke to allow the dimple die to sit perfectly vertical on the rivet. The last top rivets were put in with a regular rivet set on the rivet gun along with the bucking bar.
