Well they finally made it....that isn't really accurate since Clear Air Tools is in Oklahoma and they got here in ONLY two days!!!!

But I digress, we got our Pneumatic Rivet Squeezers with an adjustable set holder!!!!

These things make life so much easier, seriously it takes me longer to cleko than it takes Bear to rivet.

Here is a shot of Bear using the old rivet squeezers:	Here is a shot of Bear using the NEW pneumatic squeezers

We are now in the second (or third) paragraph on page 7-2:

"Attach the K1000-06 platenuts for the W-822 access plate to the W-706A flange (note that the access plate uses #6 screws on the spar flange and #8 screws around the perimeter.) See DWG 9A. Dimple the access plate for a #6 screw, then machine countersink the spar flange to fit the dimples. Use a #40 piloted countersink cutter to center in the platenut. Make another test patch to determine the depth adjustment of the countersinking.

Attach the two K1000-4 center section attach platenuts to the forward side of the spar. Countersink the W-706C doubler plate to allow the flush heads of the rivets to rest on the aft side of spar. This allows the doubler plate to fit flush against the F-804G-1 vertical bars (DWG11A)

Spot prime all countersunk holes where the anodizing has been removed."

The first part is relatively clear cut, we repeat what he had just finished but with a new set of platenuts. You HAVE to be careful here though, these platenuts are MUCH smaller as you can see below. The platenut on the right is the one we used on the first set (or the next set I can't remember), and the one on the left is the one for these steps.

Here they are clekoed into place with the first set in the background. (Click on the picture for a larger view.)

Here is one completely half done. :-)

Here is a shot of the contortions you have to get into sometimes...

This is also a perfect shot to illustrate one of the dangers of the pneumatic. . . the fact that with the size of the body of the Rivet Squeezer you are not always able to see all parts as clearly as you would like. This is the result, a BIG grrrrrrrrr.

This is a shot of how tight the quarters are that you have to try and fit the squeezers into.

Here is the result . . . after we removed it, Vans only give you one extra so we had better learn from this mistake.

Here is a photo of what we had to do to drill out one of our riveting oops. The clamp is to make sure that we didn't bend the platenut while drilling out the rivet. You really NEED to do this.

That's it for now. . . We finished off all of the second set of platenuts but that is just more of the same so I will get a photo of the finished result.
