All,
I had to pull out a rivet in my tailcone and in the process of so doing I bent a tab on the F-1011 bulkhead. Does anybody have a good way to hold that tab down while re-inserting the rivet? I was able to get it lined up again but it still wants to stick up unless held down by a cleko. Removing the part is not going to be an option. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

cut a tab of baffling material and drill a hole in it to fit rivet. Push tab on back of rivet and hit lightly to set rivet. Then remove tab and finish rivet. I posted pictures of this in the past.

Hi Shawn,
Use a small piece of leather with a hole in it(I’ve also used dense foam). The hole fits over the shop side of the undriven rivet. Then press down on the leather with your bucking bar until it contacts the undriven rivet end (it should push the tab flat against the underlying aluminum.) Start to set the rivet with your rivet gun until the rivet holds the tab in place. Remove the leather and finish driving the rivet.

Hi Shawn,
If you can get to the shop head with a back riveting tool, the tool will hold down the tab. If not, you can make a notched or stepped bucking that will hold down the tab with one surface and buck the rivet with the other.

glue it in and clecoe it until dry then rivet it. If you are suggesting no
one can get in there then are you using a blind rivet. Epoxy first in any
case.

You can back rivet it, and the spring loaded collar will hold it down, or what I have down is use a plastic tweaker (electrical term) to hold the tab for the first one or two strikes by the gun, this causes the rivet to swell enough to hold then you can take out the weaker. Depending on the angle it can be difficult to hold the bucking bar and tweaker with both hands, but get used to it, because there will be many more times you need 3 hands to do something

You could try to back rivet it. The collar on the back rivet set should hold the tab in place. You'll need a back rivet bucking bar and an assistant. Future reference: don't punch out rivets that are associated with tabs or thin flanges, drill them out. You'll avoid this problem.

Can you back rivet the tab? I would research this first, but could you use a drop of super glue to hold the tab? I don't know if Cyan glue will affect aluminum, so check this first.
