Brief Description:  Rivet F-714 aft turtle deck.

Rivet on the aft turtle deck is easy but required a few steps.

Image 1 shows all the rivets I was able to squeeze. One exception is the rivet furthest from the larger lightening hole. 28 rivets in all squeezed with the yoke you see in image 1. This went fast and was easy.

Image 2 shows 5 rivets I was able to squeeze with the longeron yoke, Again easy.

The rest of the rivets had to be bucked. I used the short straight rivet set. For the 4 holes around the Hor Stab Attach Bar I had to use the double offset rivet set.

All this bucking went fast and wasn’t hard to do even though of the limited view of the bucking bar on the shop head.
