Brief Description:  RH LE rib to spar rivets

I made replacement bucking bar guide for the second and third most inboard ribs because I liked the one I made last night which is wider than the first one I made and is therefore self-centering.

My son Ken came over and helped me install the remaining LH leading edge rib-to-spar rivets and all of the RH leading edge rib-to-spar rivets except for the tip ribs which I'll get with a hand squeezer. The bucking bar guides worked great and Ken quickly got the hang of properly positioning the bucking bar and applying the right amount of pressure. By the end he was able to tell if the shop heads were good or if they needed a little more bucking. All of the rivets we set tonight except for one look good. The bad one was one I overdrove because I got mixed up about which one was next and bucked the same rivet twice. When my rivet removal tool gets here I'll drill it out and reset it along with a few on the LH wing.
