Took 2 hours to go get another riveter. Got this new one from Harbor Freight, which is quite an expedition from this side of town. Took about 2 hours to finish riveting the leading edge ribs and the lower aft skin. Had to drill out about 10 rivets in the leading edge-to-spar rivets because they would jump back a little when being pulled, leaving the head away from the rib. Two of the -6's (near the root end) were the worst. Drilled them each out about 4 times. Not sure why these were so rotten, but be sure to press the riveter in hard when pulling these. All these are on a bit of an angle for the puller, so I used an angled spacer and bent the rivet shanks. I'm sure these work arounds weren't helping any. After a while of this, left the bad rivets as they were and got all the rib rivet holes filled. Then went around and riveted the lower aft skin on, to get a good dose of successful riveting. Don helped with putting the rivets in the holes and removing the clecoes as I pulled rivets around them. Then after he left, I went back and drilled out and replaced the bad rib-to-spar rivets. Took the last hour or so to install the conduit in the forward ribs, the long aileron push rod, the bellcrank access cover plate, and clean up.
