Had a small issue with this little sucker as he didn't want to sit flush. After three or four attempts at setting the AN426AD3 rivet in the dimple, in the end I decided to slightly countersink the dimpled hole to get the rivet to settle down in there. As you can see by the shiny ring around the rivet, I've probably countersunk it a touch too much, but it's better than sitting proud.
Here's one of the counterbalance skin prior to riveting it together...
Getting ready to cleco and then rivet the elevator horns.
Viola! Nicely riveted in place.
It's still satisfying to see the shop heads all perfect and consistent - love my pneumatic squeezer!!
