Brief Description:  Rivet Aft Deck

Before riveting the aft deck I had to rivet the cross brace (F-711D) under the deck that ties the pickle fork together. This part was fabricated and drilled back when the tail cone was built, which meant I had to go find it first. The rivet callout was too short (-9 length I think). The next biggest size in the kit was a -11 that was too long. Without a -10, I ground down two -11's.

The whole job was just less then 60 rivets. Most were done with the squeezer, the rest I shot and bucked. I had to use the offset rivet head to work around the pickle fork.
