Brief Description:  Rivit left fuse skin to upper longeron from rear s

1. Noticed that a tab on rear seat back lower bulkhead was not drilled so I didi that first and then set all the rivits along that side up to where the front top skin will need to rivit on. I saved the rivits behind the front seatback support flange for last.

2. I learned from yesterday that the hardest part of rivitting in that tight spot was that the rivit bar is to short. I taped on several tongue depressors to it and that allowed me to easily position the bar over the rivit. Once in position, I only had to apply pressure higher up on the bar by reaching through a lightning hole. This worked well. A small light and mirror laying on the arm rest helped too.
