Brief Description:  Rivet Left Wing Aileron Gap Seal and Flap Brace

I used the gun and bucking bar to rivet the aileron gap seal to the rear spar. Was able to set all the rivets except the one closest to the inboard aileron bracket, same as on the right wing. Used an MSP-42 pulled rivet in this location per coordination with Van's. Riveted the flap brace to the rear spar also with the gun and bucking bar. All rivets went well. Flipped the wing over and used the squeezer to set -3.5 length rivets for the skin to gap seal as I found the -3 rivets called out in the plans did not produce an acceptable thickness on the shop head. Moved the left wing to the cradle.
