Here is the pic that should help clarify what I was talking about in an earlier post. It shows the center hinge of the VS attached to the rear spar, and the four An426 flush rivets that attach the skin to the rear spar above and below the hinge plates. As I look at this, I may need to reset the bottom rivets as they have been overdriven just a bit, but the ones on top look just fine. I used the Fat Man bucking bar with the angled tip to get into that tiny space so that I could set these rivets. The thickness of the hinge plate and the round-headed AN470 rivet get in the way, and make bucking these rivets a bit of a challenge.
