Brief Description:  Riviting Left Leading edge

It was basically the same process as for the left spar. I started with the rib to spar cherry max pulled rivets. There is one rib (second most inboard) where the access presents no issues with setting these rivets from below. This is where I started using my unmodified rivet puller. For all the rest, the access is difficult as I described for the right side. I spent some more time grinding off a bit more off my modified puller to improve access and ensure perpendicular alignment when setting the rivet. I was short one of the long (-4 I think) cherry max rivets. Just to prove how tough I am I set one solid rivet in its place. I handpicked the location of course - the middle rivet on the most inboard rib. This required getting the rivet gun inside the LE and snaking the air hose in from below. Connecting the two inside the LE was the hardest part of the deal. One was enough.
