I have a couple of questions. Both of which might be dumb:
1. The plans indicate to shim up the back of the E-1008B by 4 mm for putting in rivets. Any particular reason that you can't just cleco on the E-1008A ribs as the shim.
2. How do most people rivet the skin to the rear spar at this point. Use the special bucking bar from 09-17 or just a regular bucking bar? If a regular bucking bar, then why not just cleco on the skin to the ribs, flip over and buck the rivet with the bar on top and the rivet gun from below with the skin hanging over the edge of the bench. this way no shimming is required.
Just curious
thanks
