I riveted on some nut plates just to feel like I did something other than paint today. I riveted on nut plates to the Andair Fuel Valve. Thankfully all countersinking was already done so it was easy to squeezer to set the rivets. I also needed to rivet on the upper nut plate onto the bracket that holds the forward part of the throttle console. Well this proved to be a pain. I am not sure whey this is not done on the QB kit, maybe mine was over looked. The lower two nut plates where installed. Well you can’t get a squeezer or rivet set on the forward most rivet. It is a corner style nut plate. I figured I would just use a blind rivet, well that was not perfect either. I already had a tip shaved at an angle so that was the only way I could set the blind rivet. So it took like 15 minutes to set 3 nut plates (6 rivets) on the fuel valve and 45 min to set two rivets on one nut plate!
The flange on the right side of the pic gets in the way of using rivet set or squeezer!
