I have one like this, but clunkier. One of my favorite tools.

Excellent pics, thanks Kip.

We riveted together the right hand tail skeleton. I used AN426 4-4's as I had a regular #30 dimple die I was willing to grind down. These are Adam's first bucked rivets.

Great idea! :)
Too late! I already ground. :(

Hi all,
I dimpled my aft spar channels, but when I went to dimple the mating holes in the aft part of the ribs they were too close to the radius. Looks like I will have to grind one of my dimple dies.

Mike,
I have never seen machine screws used with tinnermans. The 140 used them extensively but always with sheet metal screws.

I was going to put headset jacks in the back for the 140. You would plug them in before you sat down and hang them up in the back.

I have had one break proud out of 90. The proud one was a flush rivet in a piece of scrap. Have they changed again? Mine don't rattle either.

I bet the threads weaken the part a lot more than a small hole.

Here is another one: do not locate the WIX-T11-05 clip by lining it up with the forward spar if you have prepunched holes. Cleco the skeleton together, cleco on the skins, then transfer the hole from the hockey stick/ forward spar to the -05 clip. I need a shim now.
