Greetings:



I have "older" drawings for the RV-8 Elevators.  They show NO required rivet spacing (the number of rivets to be used) for each Elevator Skin Stiffener.  Understand the newer Stiffeners come with pilot holes already prepunched in them from Vans.



Can someone give me the "number" of rivets used for EACH Stiffener:



E-720G       E-720A      E-720F



E-720H       E-720B



E-720J       E-720C



E-720K       E-720D



E-720L       E-720E



(Using a rivet spacing fan, I can then make the rivet spacing equal for each Stiffener.)



Thanks for your help,   Garey Wittich  Santa Monica, CA

Garey,



I'd guess that the drawing does show rivet spacing, i.e.: 1 1/4" or 1 

1/2" typ. Layout the rivets on each end and use a rivet fan set near the 

"typ (ical)" space and when in doubt, err to the side of shorter 

spacing. If a spacing is not called on the drawing, measure the rivet X 

marks on the drawing and account for the scale. Again, err to the 

shorter spacing if it isn't clear.



Pax,
