I've been working on my 601XL upgrade, and came up  with a super-simple tool that allows quick and accurate drilling the rivit with  no danger of hitting the spar. The outside dimentions of the block mean nothing,  it's just what I had around. This block is clamped over the shop head of the  rivit with swivel-pad vicegrips, or any padded clamp, and drilled through.  Because the shop heads vary in diameter, the 1/4" dia. recess shown worked  for a few of my rivits, and then I enlarged 1/64" at a time as needed. I drilled  most of the way through the rivit, but not clear through, removed the block,  re-clamped the spar,and knocked the rivits out easily with a 1/8" pin punch in  the hole. Hope this is useful to someone.

                                                                                              Lynn  Dingfelder       601 X/L    Corvair     70 flight  hours

I see I failed to say this block is best made from  steel.   (and someone caught my mis-spelling of "rivets)
