Brief Description: Riveted Fuel Tank Filler Ring
|
|
I used my titanium bucking bar. Wow. That thing is very good. Small and dense, just like everyone says. Try to get one if you can. While riveting, sometimes after I set a rivet and wiping away the excess proseal, I would see that the flush head was very slightly proud. One more hit with the rivet gun and it was perfect. It's safe to say you get proseal all over the bucking bar, flush rivet set, gun handle, cleco pliers, clecoes, etc. Cleanup is just as task-oriented as the construction part is. But, it all must be done. Before riveting, be sure you position the ring with the vent line snap bushing at one of the forward-most holes in the skin so it will line up properly with the other vent line holes you drill into the ribs.
