More praise of the Avery Pop-Rivet dimpler
I started dimpling the holes in the top rib of the rudder with the rivet squeezer. Then when it wouldn't fit any more, I switched to the Avery vise grip dimplers. I got to the last rivet hole and couldn't get anything to fit. So after about 30 minutes of scratching my head, I decided to use the Avery pop-rivet dimplers to get the last hole. I put the nail of the dimpler set through the male dimpler, then through the rib hole, then female dimpler, then through a large lock washer, then through the other rib hole, and then capped off everything with a over-sized nut. After squeezing the dimple, I reversed the process for the other side. The large lock washer encircled the first rib dimple, preventing it from being smashed flat from the second dimpling. Time for a victory beer.
