Geoff,
You're right, those rivets would be hard to put on the inside, but they
don't get so close as to make contact with my bungees
so I put the rivets in from the outside. They just don't make the
contact with the bungees you're worried about. (see link)

Wish I had better pictures to offer, but the bungee is pulled around the
gear strut to go over the top tube and in closing
on that smaller radius, it's drawn in toward the strut away from the
rivets. I've had to inspect this area during annuals twice now and
cannot report any contact in that area.

Hey guys I've just hit an unexpected problem. Two channel doublers are riveted to the vertical lower channel on the firewall. One on each side. They are to support the bungee pin for the nose strut. Because the bungee sits so close, the plans call for the rivets to be pulled from the inside so as to have the dome head near the bungee. The 8 rivets close the fwd edge are a bit tight but O.K. The other 8 rivets are much deeper in and I cannot get a rivet gun or a hand puller in there. How did you do it. The photo guide shows that somebody at Zenith did it. I can shoot the rivets from the outside easy but they really are two close to the bungee for my comfort. Thanks guys........Geoff

OK Larry, if you say so. Thanks pal. By the way. You opened a can of worms. Now I want to know how you fabbed the air barrier on the steering rod slots. Would you like to share that please and thanks again for responding so quick. I'm gonna finish shooting those rivets now. Thought I'd have to wait 'till Monday for an answer.....Geoff
